Marcus Forss is reportedly a target for Premier League clubs West Ham United, Southampton, Watford and Brighton but will Brentford really sell him?
If AFC Wimbledon are third bottom in League One with Marcus Forss leading the line, imagine where they would be without him.
The Brentford loanee has saved The Dons skins on more than one occasion this season already and, with seven goals in eight games to his name thus far, the last thing new manager Gyln Hodges needed right now was to see his talisman linked with a January move away from Kingsmeadow.
TEAMtalk claim that West Ham United and Southampton, two sides are little light of options in attack, are keeping close tabs on Forss. And, to make matters worse for Wimbledon, Brentford can re-call the Finland U21 international in the New Year.
Now, as one fan points out, the step up from League One to the Premier League is massive and there’s no guarantee that Forss, who is also apparently a target for Brighton and Watford, would be able to replicate his Wimbledon heroics against Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and co.
But one thing’s for sure; this is speculation Wimbledon really don’t need after a difficult start to the season on and off the pitch.
Only way he'd go to Southampton would be to play in the Premiership and for the money. No chance of winning anything and in for a very very hard season.

Southampton need defenders, not goal scorers!

Marcus Forss' potential is enormous (could one day command Maupay size fee); Brentford aren't under pressure to cash in on Marcus now.

Brentford main striker Nikos Karelis out for the next six months, our tenuios grip on Forss looking lose, especially with West Ham trying to tap him up. Can't see where goals will come from with current squad. #afcw #afcwimbledon

There's a big gap between the lower reaches of League One and the lower reaches of the Premier League.....

I think the most logical choice for you guys is to recall Marcus Forss from Wimbledon, who has been nothing short of brilliant for us this season! Plus you have Dervisoglu to come in January, which will also help to bolster your options
