Forest in the Fray for Adams
Nottingham Forest has entered the race to sign Che Adams, potentially disrupting Wolverhampton Wanderers’ efforts to secure the forward’s services. With Adams’ contract at Southampton nearing its end, Forest is making a move to bring the player to the City Ground.
Contract Clock Ticking for Adams at Southampton
Adams, whose current deal with Southampton expires soon, has been in discussions about a new contract following the club’s return to the Premier League. However, if an agreement is not reached, the 27-year-old could leave on a free transfer, sparking interest from both Forest and Wolves.
Goal Drought Prompts Forest’s Striker Search

Adams’ Impressive Run and International Call-up
The forward’s contribution to Southampton has been significant, netting 14 goals this year alone and earning a spot in the Scotland squad for the European Championships. His potential arrival at Forest could be a major coup for the club.
Financial Fair Play Pressures Forest
