Nottingham Forest are pushing hard to sign Fulham winger Adama Traoré, with manager Nuno Espírito Santo eager to reunite with his former Wolves charge. The Reds are now ready to open transfer negotiations with Fulham over a potential deal.
The 29-year-old Traoré, renowned for his blistering pace and explosive power, is one of the Premier League’s most fearsome wide threats. His three-year spell under Nuno at Wolves saw the pair twice guide the club to a seventh-place finish in the top flight, where Traoré’s brute strength and incisive dribbling made him a standout attacking force. Last season at Fulham, he notched 2 goals and 7 assists in 36 appearances, helping the club secure a mid-table spot.
Forest, having recently sold Anthony Elanga and Ramón Sosa, are in urgent need of reinforcing their wide options – making Traoré a top target for Nuno, who has hailed the winger as "unique" and is pulling out all the stops to seal the move. Notably, Forest are also in advanced talks with Bologna over Swiss international winger Dan Ndoye. Bologna are demanding a club-record fee to let Ndoye go, while the player himself is keen on a Premier League switch, with a five-year contract reportedly on the table and a medical in the UK expected later this week.
Landing Traoré would add a razor-sharp weapon to Forest’s attack, with his individual quality set to boost their firepower. For Traoré, a reunion with Nuno could also spark a fresh chapter in his career. Whether this potential "mutual attraction" comes to fruition remains to be seen.
