Nottingham Forest narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification, but did qualify for the Europa League. The departure of Anthony Elanga was a blow, but Forest<\/a> have made some new signings and secured the future of Morgan Gibbs-White. Sacha Tavolieri<\/a> is now reporting that Arnaud Kalimuendo will travel to England on August 15 to complete his move to Nottingham Forest, with the medical also expected.<\/div>\n

Nottingham Forest Set to Sign Arnaud Kalimuendo<\/h2>\n

French Forward Set for City Ground Move<\/h3>\n
Despite the departure of Elanga, Forest have signed some new players for the 2025\/26 season, with Dan Ndoye, Igor Jesus, and Jair Cunha joining Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s squad. Alongside Elanga, Harry Toffolo, Matt Turner, and Danilo have all departed the City Ground. It looks set to be an interesting season at the club next season with European football to contend with, alongside the rigours of the Premier League. Kalimuendo looks set to be the next player through the door, with a transfer package of \u00a325.9m<\/a> agreed for the striker.<\/div>\n

It looked likely Morgan Gibbs-White<\/a> would also leave the City Ground and join Tottenham Hotspur, but the player has done a U-turn, signing a new three-year contract at the City Ground, giving Forest a significant boost. Gibbs-White staying is a huge shot in the arm for the club, as will be the impending signing of Kalimuendo.<\/div>\n

Arnaud Kalimuendo<\/h3>\n
At 23, there is a clear upside to signing the talented Kalimuendo, previously described as a \u201cmajor talent<\/a>.\u201d He is clinical with both feet and possesses impressive movement that causes opponents plenty of problems.<\/div>\n

The French international would also bring versatility to the Forest squad, able to play on either wing or in his favoured central striking role. His work ethic will be invaluable for Forest and a welcome asset for his teammates.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
