Nottingham Forest Eyes “Incredible” £50m Premier League Forward as Cunha Alternative

Nottingham Forest is reportedly considering a surprising move for an “incredible” Premier League forward, potentially as an alternative to Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha, according to recent reports.

Cunha Transfer Battle Intensifies

As the summer transfer window approaches, Cunha has emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers, with several Premier League clubs vying for his signature. The Wolves forward, who has netted 16 goals this season, has attracted interest from Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest.

However, Manchester United appears to be in pole position to secure Cunha’s services, with recent positive talks suggesting a deal may be imminent. This development has prompted Nottingham Forest to explore alternative options.

Mbeumo Emerges as Potential Target

GiveMeSport reports that Nottingham Forest has now set its sights on Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroonian forward is seen as a potential fit for Nuno Espírito Santo’s counter-attacking style of play.

While Brentford is expected to demand around £50 million for Mbeumo, Forest believes the prospect of European football next season could entice the player to consider a move to the City Ground.

Mbeumo’s Impressive Form

Mbeumo has outperformed Cunha in the Premier League this season, scoring 18 goals – the fifth-highest tally in the division. His performances have earned him high praise, with reporter Dom Smith describing him as “incredible” and Brentford manager Thomas Frank labeling him “unplayable” following a standout performance against Newcastle United.

Former Manchester United player Danny Higginbotham believes Mbeumo’s style of play aligns well with Nuno’s tactical approach, making him an exciting potential addition to the Nottingham Forest squad.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Nottingham Forest’s interest in Bryan Mbeumo signals an ambitious intent to strengthen their attacking options and build on their recent success.
