Nottingham Forest transfer 'interest' in Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp

Nottingham Forest are "trying to sign" Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp.

The 24-year-old is among "several targets" for Forest in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. If he were to sign, he would become the Reds' 13th signing of the summer.

Head coach Steve Cooper is looking to bolster his strike force after losing Lewis Grabban and loanee Keinan Davis over the summer. Forest have already signed £17m striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin, but Cooper wants another forward through the door.

According to The Athletic, Forest are chasing Hornkamp, who signed for Dutch side Willem II in January this year after leaving Den Bosch. During the second half of last season he scored four goals in 13 games to help his team avoid relegation.

While at Den Bosch, Hornkamp attracted attention when he once scored four goals in 34 minutes. He scored 25 goals in 55 games over three seasons at his former club and will be hoping he can replicate that form in the Premier League.

It is also said Forest boss Cooper wants "at least two more" signings, as well as Hornkamp, before the summer window closes on September 1. They are back in Premier League action this Saturday (August 6) with a trip to Newcastle United.
