Pape Matar Sarr hasn\u2019t been seen in a Tottenham shirt since preseason and there are plenty of rumors that both he and the club are looking for an exit from N17. According to Sky Sports France\u2019s Sascha Tavolieri, the club making a late push for Sarr is none other than our good friends Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

Previous rumors suggested that Sarr had preferred a move to Monaco, which as a French speaking Senegalese dude makes a ton of sense and would be a good move for him. Tavolieri writes that the Monaco interest is real<\/a>, but unlikely to happen before the last week of the season and is contingent on Monaco offloading American striker Folarin Balogun first. But staying in the Premier League would have its advantages as well.<\/p>\n

The whole kerfluffle over Morgan Gibbs-White last summer seemingly hasn\u2019t dimmed Tottenham\u2019s relationship with Forest THAT much if they\u2019re still considering a a deal. A loan plus an option isn\u2019t the best outcome for Tottenham, but it beats keeping Sarr around if he\u2019s not going to play that much, which feels like the case. Honestly, Forest wouldn\u2019t be a terrible club for Sarr to land at \u2014 he\u2019s likely going to get more playing time there and Oliver Glasner is a pretty good coach with good midfield ideas. No guarantee that Forest\u2019s mobster-boss owner Evangelos Marinakis wouldn\u2019t sack Glasner in a fit of rage after three consecutive losses, either.<\/p>\n

Tavolieri writes that Spurs are asking \u20ac25m (\u00a321.5m) for Sarr, which is what caused Galatasaray to back down after they offered \u20ac18m. That\u2019s well within the budgets of both Monaco and Forest (especially Forest). It could come down to where Sarr ultimately wants to go. But at this point it\u2019s looking very likely that he WILL go.
