£25m striker is interested in joining Nottingham Forest, he’s demanding £190k-a-week

Chris Wood was in phenomenal form for Nottingham Forest last season, helping the club return to Europe as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side qualified for the Europa League.

The New Zealand international played in 36 Premier League games for Nottingham Forest last season, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists.

However, Chris Wood is currently 33 years old and Nottingham Forest could be looking to find a long-term replacement for the striker.

As a result, they have been linked with a number of striking options during the summer transfer window, but fans may be happy to link them with one name, a striker who has been linked with other top English clubs, past and present.

Nottingham Forest interested in signing Dušan Vlahović

Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is keen to secure a move to the Premier League this summer, according to Teamtalk.

The Serbian international has spent the last three years of his life with the Italian giants, joining them in January 2022 from Arsenal.

Since joining Juventus, the club have struggled to fulfil his ambitions of promotion to Serie A, but he now appears to be looking to leave the club.

Although he has been strongly linked with Manchester United, Nottingham Forest are also interested in signing the striker, with Vlahović reportedly demanding a weekly wage of £190,000.

Dušan Vlahović career stats

He began his career in Serbia with Partizan Belgrade, where he impressed clubs from the big leagues, having broken through into the defence with his large build from a young age.

Fiorentina would officially sign Vlahović in February 2018, with the striker not playing for the club until July 2018.

He struggled to find his way through the ranks in his first two seasons before turning the corner and becoming one of Serie A’s top scorers, scoring 49 goals in 108 appearances for Fiorentina.

Vlahović’s career at Juventus was relatively disappointing, as he failed to score as many goals as was expected when he signed for the club.

The blame should not be placed solely on him, as the club has struggled since he was there, while Juventus struggle with the identity they want to advance towards: a club that plays free football, or a club that approaches every match and wants to win by any means possible.

Michael Keane’s three-word reaction to Everton red card against Wolves said it all

Michael Keane, the player who earlier this season saw Everton team-mate Idrissa Gueye sent off for slapping him at Manchester United, suffered a red card that in some ways was even stranger as he was given his marching orders for pulling an opponent’s hair. Keane’s night had started impressively as he despatched an instinctive finish for his third goal of the campaign to fire the Blues ahead against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Premier League’s bottom club, but an opponent who arrived on the back of their first win in the competition all season, at the 20th attempt. Most people at Hill Dickinson Stadium, including referee Thomas Kirk, in just his second Premier League match, didn’t spot Keane’s offence, in an aerial duel with Tolu Arokodare in real time, but over 200 miles away at Stockley Park, Everton’s old pal Chris Kavanagh on VAR duty was more eagle-eyed and sent Kirk to his pitchside monitor. Keane, who could be seen mouthing the words ‘oh my God,’ as the footage was being played back, was duly given an early bath for what was deemed to be ‘violent conduct.’ It’s strange that given that this correspondent’s primary school teacher used to perform similar gestures on small children during assemblies when it was their birthday. But what was acceptable in the 1980s – both on and off the football pitch – doesn’t always wash these days and if it was a deliberate act then it was reckless. The same goes for Jack Grealish following Keane off for a couple of quickfire bookings, leaving David Moyes’ men to cling on for a point with just nine men.
