Revealed: Nottingham Forest set sights on signing £40m-valued star

Nottingham Forest have set their sights on signing Burnley winger Luca Koleosho, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Koleosho’s future will depend on where Burnley are in the Championship.

The Clarets value the 20-year-old at the £40million mark after moving quickly to tie him down to a new five-year contract.

It is also unlikely that the winger will move in the upcoming January transfer window, with summer being a more likely time for a potential transfer.

Wolves had attempted to sign Koleosho on deadline day but ended up being put off by the price tag that Burnley set.

However, Forest are not expected to be the only club admiring him heading into future transfer windows.

Nottingham Forest will have to outbid other teams to sign Luca Koleosho

There is set to be “a lot of interest” in Koleosho, which will provide Forest with plenty of competition to secure is signature.

Forest have been looking to sign a winger since summer as interest in Anthony Elanga began to rise, and Koleosho has become a top target.

The winger scored one goal and provided one assist in 15 Premier League appearances last season.

The Italy Under-21 international has already started the new campaign impressively, scoring twice in five games in the Championship.

Scott Parker has opted to start him in all but one game, becoming a pivotal part of the Burnley squad.
