Nottingham Forest Lodge £26m Offer for Arnaud Kalimuendo
Nottingham Forest have made a decisive move to strengthen their attacking options by submitting a £26 million bid for French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo.
“Nottingham Forest have made a formal offer to sign striker Arnaud Kalimuendo,” reported GIVEMESPORT correspondent Fabrizio Romano.
The club, managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, is looking to reinforce its forward line following Anthony Elanga’s departure to Newcastle in a £55 million deal. Forest’s aim is clear: bring in a proven goal-scorer who can make an immediate impact.
Kalimuendo, 23, has been in fine form in Ligue 1, attracting attention from several top European sides. Forest’s offer signals their serious intent to secure the striker’s services ahead of the new season.
The timing is significant. Nottingham Forest will compete in the Europa League this term after Crystal Palace’s demotion due to UEFA rule breaches. This return to European football has spurred the club to act swiftly in the transfer market.
If the deal goes through, Kalimuendo will add pace, versatility, and firepower to Forest’s attack. The club is banking on him replicating his Ligue 1 form on English soil, giving the manager more tactical options up front.
Fans will be watching closely as negotiations unfold, hoping the striker becomes the latest marquee addition to the City Ground squad.
