Timothy Weah is among the list of targets for Nottingham Forest this summer as the club looks to strengthen the squad.
Weah is being lined up for a move to the City Ground, with Nuno Espirito Santo keen to add more firepower to his squad during the transfer window.
Samuel Mbangula is coming to Forest with his teammate, too, and the duo could be heading to Nottingham to sign terms shortly after the Club World Cup.
There are still some details to iron out, however, with Weah holding some reservations over signing for Forest.
Now, some fresh details have come to light with Forest pushing hard to sign the two players from the Old Lady.
How much Timothy Weah wants in wages at Forest
It’s fair to say that Weah is keen to get himself a hefty wage rise to up sticks and move to Forest.
In fact, according to Tutto Sport, he’s keen to push for a double-your-money wage rise, with the report suggesting he wants a cool £65,000-a-week.
That would put him in a decent wage bracket at Forest with some of the club’s top players earning similar money on Trentside.
Weah scored six goals and claimed five assists last season and having played in a demanding league like Serie A, he could prove a useful signing for the club’s UEFA Conference League campaign.
Weah could prove a quality signing for Forest
The beauty of Weah is that he can play anywhere across the front three, as he’s proved over and over for Juventus.
The thing with the players who currently operate on the flanks for Forest is that they are very set in their ways, with Jota Silva and Ramon Sosa largely flattering to deceive.
Weah has played in the Italian top-flight, and that should make the transition to Premier League football much smoother than it might be for other players.
It would be great to get this deal over the line and at 25, Weah would be coming to Forest ahead of his peak, which can only bode well for the future.
