Grabban and Afobe have impressed at Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers this season, with the former said to have attracted interest from Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest fans are reacting to reports linking their side with a move for Aston Villa loan star Lewis Grabban.
The Sun on Sunday reported (May 13th, page 63) that Aitor Karanka, the Forest manager, is weighing up an approach for Grabban, who has impressed on loan to Villa from Bournemouth this season.
The 30-year-old striker spent the first half of the campaign at Sunderland and has scored 20 league goals in total.
According to the Sun on Sunday, Karanka thinks Grabban can ‘fire Nottingham Forest’s promotion bid next season’, but may have to pay around £5 million for his services – that’s if Aston Villa fail to pursue a permanent deal.
And the rumour appears to have split the Forest faithful, some of whom have other targets in mind – one being Grabban’s teammate Benik Afobe, who recently completed a loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers from Bournemouth.
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
Would the Aston Villa loan star be a worthwhile addition for Nottingham Forest next season?
