Burnley and Huddersfield Town are reportedly interested in signing Britt Assombalonga from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
Burnley and Huddersfield Town are interested in signing Britt Assombalonga from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window, according to The Sunday People (print edition, page 54, June 25, 2017).
According to the report, Forest paid Peterborough United a transfer fee of £5.5 million in order to secure the services of Assombalonga in the summer of 2014.
Although the striker has had injury problems during his spell at the Reds, there can be no doubt that the 24-year-old is one of the best in his position in the Championship.
During the 2016-17 campaign, the former Watford man scored 14 goals and provided one assist in 20 Championship starts for the Reds.
Forest narrowly avoided relegation to League One at the end of last season, but Mark Warburton’s side will be aiming for a spot in the top six of the Championship in 2017-18.
For the Reds to achieve that objective, it is important that they retain the services of Assombalonga.
However, would the striker be able to resist the temptation of playing Premier League football next season with either Burnley or Huddersfield?
