AdminNottingham Forest Eyeing £3m Move for Wigan Athletic Star Thelo Aasgaard
Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing Wigan Athletic midfielder Thelo Aasgaard in the January transfer window. The 22-year-old Norway U-21 international has been in impressive form for Wigan this season, scoring seven goals in 21 appearances across all competitions.
Aasgaard’s performances have caught the attention of several clubs, including Forest, who are believed to be monitoring his situation. According to reports, Wigan are willing to sell Aasgaard for around £3m, which is considered a reasonable fee for a player of his talent and potential.
However, former England international Carlton Palmer believes that Forest should consider loaning Aasgaard back to Wigan for the remainder of the season if they do decide to sign him. Palmer argues that Aasgaard is too important to Wigan’s survival hopes in League One, and that losing him could have a significant impact on the team’s chances of staying up.
“Aasgaard is a talented player, and it’s no surprise that Forest are interested in him,” Palmer said. “However, Wigan need him to stay in the league, and losing him could be a disaster for them. If Forest do sign him, they should consider loaning him back to Wigan for the rest of the season. It would be a win-win for both clubs.”
Palmer also believes that Aasgaard would not be guaranteed regular playing time at Forest, and that he may be better off staying at Wigan for the time being.
“Aasgaard is a talented player, but he’s not ready to start for Forest just yet,” Palmer said. “He needs to keep playing regularly and developing his skills. If Forest sign him and then loan him back to Wigan, it would be a great move for both clubs.”
Overall, it remains to be seen whether Forest will make a move for Aasgaard in the January transfer window. However, if they do, it’s likely that they will face competition from other clubs who are also interested in signing the talented young midfielder.
