Yet another problem for West Ham as Nottingham Forest want to sign Adrien Truffert
Nottingham Forest reportedly could now challenge West Ham United for the signing of Adrien Truffert this summer.
According to a report from RMC Sport, West Ham now face a problem if we are to sign Adrien Truffert in the summer transfer window, with Nottingham Forrest chasing his signature as well.
The East London outfit are allegedly very keen to sign the 21-year-old Rennes left-back this summer.
Hammers boss David Moyes definitely needs to sign a top-class left-back, with Aaron Cresswell bering heavily linked with the exit door.
Truffert would be the ideal man for the job as far as I’m concerned, but it seemingly won’t be straightforward for West Ham to sign him…
Yet another problem for West Ham as Nottingham Forest want to sign Adrien Truffert
RMC Sport claim that Forest are now battling the Hammers for the Rennes star this summer.
Truffert is a really exciting young talent, and is exactly the kind of player we should be trying to sign in my opinion.
He’d be a massive upgrade on Aaron Cresswell and would provide really strong competition and cover for Emerson Palmieri.
The French youngster bagged an impressive six assists in 28 Ligue 1 games for Rennes last season (Who Scored).
During those appearances, Truffert averaged 2.2 tackles and 1.6 clearances per match (Who Scored).
He has pace in abundance, is really strong in the tackle and has a good sense of positional awareness. Sempre Inter claim he could be available for around €20 million (£17 million) this summer. That sounds like great value for me.
I would absolutely love Adrien Truffert to join West Ham, but Nottingham Forest entering the race to sign him is definitely a problem that we could do without.

JUST IN: Nottingham Forest has now agreed to sign ‘very intelligent’ £15m international defender
Nottingham Forest are now competing with West Ham United in the race to sign exciting French full-back, Adrien Truffert.
Truffert is emerging as one of the best up and coming left-backs in France. Having already made his debut for France under Didier Deschamps last year, the Rennes star has a bright future ahead of him.
And according to RMC Sport, Nottingham Forest are now emerging as contenders to sign Truffert.
RMC claims that Forest have joined West Ham in the chase to land Truffert, while Spanish side Real Sociedad are also keen on signing the 21-year-old.
Nottingham Forest and West Ham want Adrien Truffert
Forest are once again trying to be busy this summer. After an exlosive window last summer that carried into January as well, Steve Cooper is looking for even more new recruits.
Truffert, it seems, fits the bill of athletic and attack minded full-backs. With Forest having lost Renan Lodl to Marseille, there is a gap in the squad at the moment.
Described by French coach Julien Stephan as being a ‘very intelligent’ prospect, Truffert was a near ever-present for Rennes last season in Ligue 1.
“He has huge potential and a very good left foot. He is very intelligent, has the right mentality and the versatility to play in different positions. He has all the qualities needed to keep progressing and to break through in the near future,” Stephan said of Truffert.
Rennes are believed to value Truffert at around the £15m mark.
One for the future for Forest and West Ham
France have a nice habit of producing top players and Adrien Truffert looks like being yet another one coming off the conveyor belt.
Truffert making his debut for France already is a sign of the talent he is and with Forest being so active in recent times, it’s not hard to see why they’re in the mix here.
Forest need to try and kick on this year. And landing a player like Truffert will only propel them towards that goal of climbing the table further next season.
