Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic should make a move for Zach Clough of Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
Scott Sinclair was struggling at Aston Villa before he joined Celtic and his game improved under manager Brendan Rodgers, and the former Liverpool boss could help Nottingham Forest star Zach Clough in the same way.
Sinclair was able to score just two goals and failed to provide any assist in 19 Premier League starts for Villa during the 2015-16 campaign, but in his two years at Celtic, the former Chelsea and Manchester City winger has scored 43 goals in 104 appearances in all competition for Celtic, as stated on the Hoops’ official website.
Clough could have a similar revival at Celtic, and the Bhoys could also benefit from having the versatile Forest star in their team.
The 23-year-old is a hugely talented and promising young footballer who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, and given his struggles at Forest since his move from Bolton Wanderers in January 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Nottingham Post to be worth £3 million, it would make sense for him to leave the Reds, at least on a loan deal.
Forest will be aiming to finish in the Championship playoffs next season, and manager Aitor Karanka may not have time or patience for a player who is struggling to find his feet.
The 23-year-old’s loan spell in the second half of this past season at Bolton was not exactly a success, as he could make only two starts and seven substitute appearances in the Championship for the Trotters.
Playing under Rodgers at Celtic would help Clough express his natural talent, and the Forest youngster would flourish.
With the Hoops also playing in Europe next season, there will be enough games for the 23-year-old attacker to impress, and he could also be a replacement for Charly Musonda, who has returned to his talent club Chelsea.
