According to the latest news from renowned journalist Ben Jacobs, Premier League promotion rivals Nottingham Forest are closing in on an agreement with Dutch giants Feyenoord to sign Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez for a fee of up to £30 million. This transfer news certainly adds to Nottingham Forest's summer reinforcement efforts.
According to Ben Jacobs, Nottingham Forest are very optimistic about signing Jiménez, and they have seen the Mexican striker as the team's top target even before. Despite having previously considered bringing in Arsenal striker Nketiah, Nottingham Forest have never taken their eye off Jimenez and have now made a higher offer for the young striker.
At just 23 years old, Jiménez has quickly made a name for himself at Feyenoord and has become an important part of the team's forward line. In the 22/23 season, he made 90 appearances for Feyenoord in all competitions, scoring a staggering 53 goals and contributing 13 assists, a performance that certainly turned heads. Currently, Jiménez is valued at 40 million euros in the German transfer market, which also reflects his outstanding strength and market value.
For Nottingham Forest, the signing of Jiménez would greatly enhance the team's attacking strength and competitiveness. As a team just promoted to the Premier League, Nottingham Forest needs more players with strength and potential like Jimenez to help the team stand firm in the Premier League. The addition of Jimenez will also bring more goals and victories to the team, helping the team to achieve better results in the new season.
