Nottingham Forest hold talks to sign £40m striker in January

Nottingham Forest have reportedly been contacted by the agents of AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun regarding a potential permanent move in January. According to a report from TEAMtalk cited by Football FanCast, Monaco remain open to selling the 25-year-old former Arsenal forward after previously attempting to offload him to Everton in a deal worth £40m on deadline day.

Forest are reportedly assessing attacking options following a difficult start to the Premier League season under manager Oliver Glasner, who has collected only six points from his first nine matches. Balogun, who has 12 goals in 31 appearances for the United States men's national team, has also been offered to other clubs across English football.
