Nottingham Forest Fans must be in dreamland when they catch a glimpse of Premier League table, with Nuno Espirito SantoOur team is above Chelsea and Manchester City at the moment.
It's not as if the Tricky Trees have fallen short of that lofty position either with consistent top-drawer performances that have seen them win four of their last five league games, with the only game that didn't end in victory being a hard-fought draw against them. Arne Slott's fearsome Liverpool team.
While Forest players, staff and fans alike will love every minute of their unexpected rise in this campaign, they will not want to drop down the league anytime soon, with some data buys for January perhaps in the pipeline.
Nottingham Forest are preparing a bid for the Premier League star worth £60 million
The trees have been tough lately He has made a £22m bid to sign Yoanne Wissa from BrentfordUnfortunately, this was quickly rejected.
As a result, Nuno is turning his attention to another top-flight club to bolster his attacking ranks.

Big money deals, controversial moves and big name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions via Football FanCast.
In fact, according to a recent report from Daily Mail in recent daysForest are preparing to do their best to spend money on the Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matthews Cunhaas it seems unlikely that the Brazilian will extend his contract with Molineux.
That's where the Premier League stars come in, with Sky Sports reporting the show is in and around £60 million mark That could be enough for Vitor Pereira's men to consider parting ways with their exceptional talent.
Of course, Forrest is not alone in his quest for the wonderful South America Arsenal It is also said keenbut Nuno's side will want to rush to the front of the queue to really show the rest of the league that they mean business in maintaining a top-four finish.
Why should Forrest prioritize being over Wesa?
The move over the line would see any potential deal for Wissa to move to the City Ground almost certainly become redundant, with the current Wolves star clearly upgrading over the £22m target.
It goes without saying that Cunha has been an in-form player to watch this season in the Premier League, even as his Wolves side were locked in a relegation battle.
Although his old gold side currently find themselves in 17th place – with goal difference being the only reason they are not sinking into the bottom three – the former Atletico Madrid striker has managed to be a consistent bright spark with exceptional brilliance. 14 contributions to goals Collected from 21 league competitions.
This has led to calls from his manager recently stating that “private” player, which is why Forest chose him as their key buy before the window closes.
Wissa was also another striker who had been the subject of interest, but the Brentford striker has found his footing One short goal contribution From her impressive numbers in the Premier League with the Bees, with her comparative numbers also reinforce the idea that the Brazilian should be pursued with more enthusiasm than the 28-year-old.

In fact, it's clear when you look at the table above that Cunha will offer Forest much more than just a scoring and assisting machine, as his overall attacking style stands out much more than that of Wissa.
After all, the sought-after striker outperforms the Brentford man in every area of his attacking game when looking at FBref, with Cunha able to give Nuno a more versatile option apart from the poacher's abilities. Striker 14 goals Chris Wood.
There is no doubt that Wesa would have adapted well to the City Ground with his numbers impressive in their own right for Thomas Frank's men.
However, if an agreement can be reached for Cunha to join instead, Forest will be able to send shockwaves across the league in their bold attempts to secure a Champions League place.
