Nottingham Forest are stepping up their efforts to sign new players on the back of a high-profile departure. <\/p>\n

Anthony Elanga signed for Newcastle<\/a> last week in a deal worth around \u00a360 million and Morgan Gibbs-White could sign for Tottenham<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jacob Ramsey has been linked with Forest<\/a> and Igor Jesus<\/a> has already checked in at the City Ground<\/a> with his Botafogo teammate Jair Cunha<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Forest<\/a> are going to step up the recruitment drive, it would seem and Nuno Espirito Santo<\/a> will hope to have some new players in his squad in the very near future. <\/p>\n

According to TalkSPORT<\/a>, Forest are now going to make a concrete play to sign Juventus midfielder Luiz this summer. <\/p>\n

A number of Premier League clubs are keen on Luiz, with West Ham recently put off by his \u00a3100,000-a-week wage demands. <\/p>\n

Luiz is seeking a new club just 12 months after leaving Villa Park to sign for Juventus, with the move not going according to plan. <\/p>\n

Luiz cost the Old Lady \u00a350 million, and it\u2019s believed that a deal can be struck at around half of that price in the current window. <\/p>\n

The 27-year-old made 170 appearances in the Premier League for Aston Villa and helped the team defy the odds to reach the Champions League last season. <\/p>\n

Villa didn\u2019t qualify for next season\u2019s Champions League and have instead entered the Europa League, where Forest will hope to join them. <\/p>\n

Edu has tried to sign Douglas Luiz before<\/p>\n

Luiz was extremely sought after when he was at Aston Villa, with Edu a big fan of the midfielder. <\/p>\n

Now at Forest, Edu tried to sign Luiz<\/a> on more than one occasion for Arsenal and now maybe he will feel confident of finally getting his man. <\/p>\n

Forest will find it hard to sign Luiz this summer, given the level of competition in the mix for his signature but it\u2019s great that the Reds have positioned themselves in the race. <\/p>\n

Luiz\u2019s arrival would almost certainly signal a change of shape for Espirito Santo\u2019s team and it would send out a message that Forest mean business next season. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest are stepping up their efforts to sign new players on the back of a high-profile departure.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2055,59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-3032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-douglas-luiz","tag-gb","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
