Nottingham Forest handed transfer blow as midfielder bid 'turned down'

Nottingham Forest have had their attempt to sign Lille midfielder Amadou Onana "turned down", according to reports.

The 20-year-old Belgian has been linked with a move to the City Ground after impressing in his first season in France with Lille. Onana moved to Les Dogues last summer from Hamburger SV and appeared 41 times, including eight games in the Champions League.

Onana spent his youth career with Anderlecht and Zulte Waregem before moving to Germany with 1899 Hoffenheim. Despite impressing at under-17s and under 19s level, he never featured for the first team and went on to join German rivals Hamburgers in 2020, making 25 appearances in Bundesliga 2.
