Forest submit late bid for Ajorque
Nottingham Forest have submitted a ‘last minute offer’ to sign Strasbourg striker Ludovic Ajorque, according to a reliable journalist Pete O’Rourke.
The Lowdown: Attracting Interest
The 28-year-old still has of them years remaining on his deal with the French giants but has always been linked with a move to the Premier League for most of the summer.
The wolves were reported have made a bid for him but have now signed Sasa Kalajdzic, while Everton have also been credited with interest, but the Reds now appear to be coming with the intention of hijacking any potential deal.
The Last: Forest makes the offer of Ajorque
Take from Twitter, O’Rourke has revealed Forest have made an offer for Ajorque but will face competition for his signature. He wrote:
“Nottingham Forest are making a last minute offer for Strasbourg striker Ludovic Ajorque who is also a target for Crystal Palace and West Ham.”
The Verdict: The Alternative to Surridge
Sam Surridge is related with a late switch to Championship side Middlesbrough, Steve Cooper will therefore have to be on the lookout for a replacement, and Ajorque would be a welcome addition.
The 6 foot 4 forward, double “remarkable” of former Strasbourg coach Julien Stephan, has scored 62 goals (45 goals, 17 assists) in 127 career Ligue 1 appearances, via Who scored.
Would you like to see Forest sign Ajorque?
Yes
Nope
A player with that sort of return will be exactly the profile the boss wants to sign, and although the deal is most likely just a loan deal, Ajorque could play an important role in helping keep Forest in the top flight.
