Nottingham Forest In Advanced Talks For Kalimuendo

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks with Rennes for striker Arnaud Kalimuendo.

The Frenchman scored 18 times as Rennes finished 12th in Ligue 1 last season.

Forest are preparing for the Europa League, having been promoted to the competition when Crystal Palace were demoted to the Europa Conference League, and Nuno Espírito Santo is looking to build a deeper squad.

Igor Jesus has already joined from Botafogo for £10m as Forest look to ease the burden on Chris Wood, who scored 20 goals last season.

Kalimuendo, 23, started his career at Paris St-Germain and has scored 42 times in 105 games for Rennes since joining in 2022.

He also won silver with France at the Paris Olympics last year.
