West Ham Prodigy on PL Club’s Radar After Failed 23-Year-Old Tottenham Player’s Bid this Summer

Given their unsuccessful bid for injured Tottenham Hotspur player, Ryan Sessegnon, Nottingham Forest might now be considering making an offer for Aaron Cresswell.

The Sun on Sunday (6/8; page 59) suggests that Cresswell, the defender from West Ham, has not been in action recently, casting a shadow over his future with the London-based club.

Aaron Cresswell was previously approached by Wolves, but their £2.5 million offer was declined by West Ham. Nonetheless, Nottingham Forest seems to have now entered the contest for his signature.

Nottingham Forest Pursues Cresswell Following Setback with Sessegnon

The Sun on Sunday (6/8; page 59) reporting that Forest’s chase for Ryan Sessegnon was interrupted when the player, aged 23, experienced an injury that will prohibit his participation in the opening of the new season for Spurs.

As a result, the focus of Nottingham Forest has shifted towards Cresswell. The report indicates that manager Steve Cooper’s side will challenge Wolves for the 33-year-old player by putting forth their own offer.

Prior season, Renan Lodi was loaned to the City Ground where his performance was impressive. However, he has since committed to a permanent contract with Marseille.

There’s an anticipation that Omar Richards, who suffered injuries after his affiliation last year, could resurrect his professional journey.

Securing someone of Cresswell’s calibre could be a shrewd decision for Nottingham Forest. The team profited from the expertise of Serge Aurier’s on the other flank . Cresswell, who has been a key player in the Premier League for many seasons, might offer a similar contribution.

If West Ham is receptive to a negotiation, it could turn out to be a smart move for Forest following their unsuccessful pursuit of Tottenham’s Sessegnon.
