Nottingham Forest in in ‘advanced talks for striker : Newcastle United star becomes transfer target as Nottingham Forest striker in ‘advanced talks’

As Nottingham Forest’s striker is in “advanced talks,” a star for Newcastle United becomes a transfer target.

Newcastle United, Everton, and Nottingham Forest are all included in the most recent Premier League transfer news.

There is no denying that the Saudi Pro League has dominated the summer transfer window. Those who control the purse strings in the Arabian peninsula have really cranked things up a notch or two over the past few months in an effort to create a division that can compete for attention on a global stage after dropping hints about the scope of their ambition with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo last season.

The Saudi Arabian transfer window is still open even though the Premier League’s window closed on Friday. In light of this, it is appropriate that Thursday’s transfer rumors be rife with accounts of alleged interest from the Middle East.

Below is our most recent daily roundup.

Newcastle United captain Jamal Lascelles. The Magpies skipper is a target for a Saudi Pro League club, and features in Thursday’s Premier League transfer rumour round-up. — Jamal Lascelles, the captain of Newcastle United. The Saudi Pro League club is interested in the Newcastle captain, who is mentioned in this week’s roundup of Premier League transfer rumors.

Lascelles targeted

You, hello! That’s right, I’m addressing the suspicious skeptic who questioned why Newcastle United, a club with Saudi ties, had not had significant Middle Eastern interest in its top players outside of the transfer of Allan Saint-Maximin, whom they were widely believed to want gone anyhow. Don’t you feel a little stupid right about now, then? Because have a look at this: TEAMtalk is reporting that Jamaal Lascelles, the captain of the Newcastle United, is a target for Al-Shabab of the Pro League in the closing hours of the transfer market.

What do you mean by the fact that, despite his position as team captain, he is actually just another squad member who fills in sparingly and has recently been associated with a number of departures? The Northern Echo has since reported that the player will likely remain on Tyneside despite Saudi interest. It proves nothing, buddy.

The 3AM Verdict: Despite the facetiousness, it’s probably best that Newcastle doesn’t say goodbye to a player like Lascelles at this point in the summer. Although he doesn’t usually start games, Howe can turn to him when things go tough. Without the ability to replace him, leaving him would seem a little stupid.

Gray close to Gerrard link-up

Demarai Gray of Everton is getting ever-closer to joining Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in another area. The winger has reportedly already passed a physical with the team, and Gerrard himself reportedly had a “significant role” in facilitating the transfer, according to The Athletic.

The driving force behind Gray’s intention to go to the Middle East is yet unknown, but given Jordan Henderson’s promises this week, we can virtually rule out that it has anything to do with the enormous sums of money he is sure to get.

Gray’s status at Everton is now untenable as a result of his most recent public criticism of Sean Dyche, the team’s manager. Even without Gerrard’s charm offensive, a contract might have been enough to finalize his exit since it always appeared likely to happen.

Dennis in advanced talks

Finally, according to the Saudi daily Arriyadiyah, forward Emmanuel Dennis of Nottingham Forest is reportedly in early talks with Al-Tai. The team, which is presently ranked 11th in the Pro League, is claimed to have prioritized the Nigerian player in the last hours of the transfer window despite having other attacking options.

There isn’t really much to say, other than the thought that it must still be rather novel for Steve Cooper when a player really leaves the City Ground as opposed to simply arriving with a luggage packed and an anxious expression on their face.

No real issues to raise here. Dennis needs consistent playing time after failing to have much of an impact while at the club. Forest need to clean the decks a little. Sometimes neither party is as happy with the results as they had wanted to be.
