Nottingham Forest Secures Luca Netz Transfer

Nottingham Forest has reached an agreement to sign German winger Luca Netz, while Sean Dyche’s squad is reportedly interested in a player from Sheffield United.

Transfer Details for Netz

It was previously reported on January 7 that Tottenham Hotspur had shown interest in Netz; however, the left-back—who is capable of playing as a left midfielder—will be moving to Nottingham Forest instead. Transfer insider Graeme Bailey disclosed earlier on deadline day that Forest was closing in on a deal valued at £2 million for Netz.

Confirmation of the Deal

According to Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany, the transfer is now a “done deal” between Nottingham Forest and Borussia Monchengladbach.

• Forest has finalized arrangements for Netz’s transfer.
• The 22-year-old is currently undergoing a medical examination and is expected to sign a long-term contract with the club.

Borussia Monchengladbach had to settle for a reduced offer for Netz due to his contract nearing its end, making deadline day the last chance for them to secure a transfer fee.

Sheffield United’s Prospects

As reported by the Sheffield Star, Sheffield United is “on red alert” in the closing moments of the winter transfer window, as Nottingham Forest has shown interest in midfielder Sydie Peck and is monitoring his progress closely.

Summer Move Likely for Peck

It appears that a transfer for Peck is more likely to occur in the summer, as he participated in United’s training today and is not anticipated to exit Bramall Lane mid-season.

Nottingham Forest’s Pursuit of Arne Engels

While Forest awaits developments regarding Peck, they are actively pursuing a swift agreement for Arne Engels.

The club has had bid amounts of £14 million, £17 million, and £25 million turned down by Celtic. However, sources indicate that Nottingham Forest is edging closer to signing the versatile Belgian player, despite Celtic manager Martin O’Neill’s reluctance to part with him.
