The Nottingham Forest striker has already left Peterborough United.

Darragh MacAnthony has revealed Peterborough United paid more than £250,000 to take the Nottingham Forest striker, James Cummings, on loan for six months (Peterborough United).

That is around a quarter of the Forest paid to sign Cummings outright from Hibernian two years ago (Transfermarkt).

And it works out at around £40,000 per league goal – all six of which were scored in the month of August.

Cummings has since left Peterborough, the club owned by MacAnthony, to join Luton Town on another six-month loan deal.

However, the 23-year-old has only played once so far for the League One leaders, and he is expected to return Nottingham Forest this summer with a year left on his contract.

How easy it would be to move Cummings on early, however, remains to be seen.

The twice-capped Scotland international has scored four goals in 17 games for Nottingham Forest.

What does the future hold for Cummings?
