Nottingham Forest are reported to be tracking a remarkable move for striker Sydney van Hooijdonk.
The Heerenveen forward, on loan from Bologna, has bagged 16 goals in 32 games this season. Van Hooijdonk, the son of former Forest man Pierre, has enjoyed his return to the Eredivisie after a short stint in Italy, producing 23 goals in 47 games for the Dutch club since his initial spell in January 2022.
The 23-year-old looks to have inherited his father’s goalscoring instincts, with Van Hooijdonk Sr. scoring 36 times in 71 games during his time with Forest, helping return the club to the top-flight in 1999. Despite not being born when his Dad was scoring goals at the City Ground, Sydney demonstrated his family’s feelings towards the club, being in attendance when Steve Cooper ’s side achieved promotion at Wembley last season.
