News Update: Nottingham Forest moves quickly finalize their signing of West Ham attacker Maxwel Cornet Before the transfer deadline

Nuno Espírito Santo is prioritizing a new attacker ahead of the transfer window, and Nottingham Forest is considering a loan move for West Ham attacker Maxwell Cornet. This deal will only benefit Forest, not the Hammers. West Ham needs to make moves that will help them this month.

David Moyes is unlikely to approve this deal unless he has assurances that someone will arrive to fill that role. Although Cornet hasn’t played up to par, he remains an attacking option capable of playing as a winger, striker, or wing-back. The team has been lacking bodies in the final third due to injuries to Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta, as well as Mohammed Kudus’s absences due to international duty. The money Forest would receive from the sale would go toward improving the first team roster, which would be a respectable endeavor.

The club has been short-handed in the final third after injuries to Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta, as well as Mohammed Kudus’s absences for international duty, so David Moyes is unlikely to approve this deal unless he has guarantees that someone will show up to take that role. Cornet hasn’t played up to par, but he’s still an attacking option that can play as a winger, striker, or wing-back. The money Forest would receive from the sale would go toward strengthening the first team roster, which would be a commendable endeavor.
