Nottingham Forest is currently in discussions with the formidable French club, Monaco, with the intention of securing the services of their sought-after left-back, Ismail Jakobs.

Monaco has expressed their willingness to entertain the possibility of Jakobs departing, as long as the deal involves a suitable transfer fee. These negotiations are anticipated to advance over the coming days.

Initially, Nottingham Forest had set their sights on Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen, but they have now shifted their attention to Jakobs. This decision was influenced by their belief that Maatsen’s asking price is too exorbitant for their current budget.

Jakobs, who hails from Germany but represents Senegal on the international stage, has emerged as a key figure in Monaco’s first team over the past two years. His remarkable talent has been on display in 60 appearances for the club, further solidifying his impressive Football credentials.

Having already gained invaluable experience from competing in prestigious tournaments such as the Champions League and Europa League, Jakobs would undoubtedly represent a valuable and much-needed addition to Steve Cooper’s team at Nottingham Forest.
