“Revealed: Nottingham Forest’s £15m Signing Could Now Be Worth THREE TIMES More, Says Shocking Study
Nottingham Forest currently boast a squad brimming with talent, with 10 players away on international duty. In just over two years since their promotion back to the Premier League, the club has made significant strides. Sitting fifth in the Premier League after 11 games, Nuno Espirito Santo has laid a solid foundation for the team.
Despite a 3-1 loss to Newcastle in their last match, Forest face a tough challenge against Arsenal away this weekend. Nevertheless, the squad is in its best shape in years, and with the international break in full swing, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the club’s progress.
Reports and statistics are circulating, and one football study suggests that Forest could be set for significant financial gains in the near future.
Nottingham Forest Player’s Value Could Triple in Just One Season
Forest’s recruitment strategy has often been criticized since their Premier League return, but it’s time the club’s transfer dealings are given credit. Anthony Elanga, who swapped Manchester United for Forest in search of regular first-team football, has delivered 14 goal contributions in his first season. While this season has started slower for the winger, he’s picked up a couple of assists in recent weeks.
Forest stood firm when Newcastle attempted to sign Elanga on deadline day in the summer, demanding £50 million for his services—a figure that raised some eyebrows at the time. However, recent reports suggest that the club was right to hold out for that price.
According to a study by CIES Observatory, which specializes in football statistics, Elanga’s current market value is estimated to be between £34m and £49m, a significant increase from the £15m they paid Manchester United.
Forest Face a Big Decision Over Elanga’s Future
Newcastle’s interest in Elanga is unlikely to fade, and it’s clear that selling him could bring a substantial profit to the club. However, the 22-year-old winger still has immense potential, and he’s only just begun to settle at Forest. Elanga is regarded as a positive presence in the dressing room and always gives his best when called upon by Espirito Santo.
Forest will need to weigh their options carefully. They don’t want to become known for selling their top talent, but given the club’s position in the Premier League, every player has a price. If selling Elanga allows Forest to retain key players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo for a bit longer, it could be a decision the club needs to consider in the near future.
