The winger left Forest for RB Leipzig last month.
He may have left the City Ground last month but Nottingham Forest are never far from the thoughts of RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke, it seems.
Burke, a product of the Tricky Trees’ academy, became the most expensive Scottish player ever upon signing for the Bundesliga new boys three weeks ago in a reported £13 million deal (Daily Mail).
In seven appearances for Forest this season, Burke scored four goals and made another two, including the one that secured his old side’s place in the EFL Cup third round – Lars Veldwijk’s winner against Millwall.
That, in turn, set up a historic night on Trentside, with Arsenal the visitors on Tuesday in what will be the Premier League side’s first visit since January 1999, a game which ended 1-0 to the Gunners.
And Burke is hoping for a positive result for the Reds, tweeting:
Burke has only featured once for Leipzig so far, but marked his debut with an impressive cameo in which he set up his side’s winning goal against Borussia Dortmund.
The 19-year-old remained an unused substitute in the Bulls’ subsequent 4-0 win at Hamburg.
