Bournemouth keeping tabs on Kyogo Furuhashi
AFC Bournemouth are reportedly keeping a close eye on Stade Rennais striker Kyogo Furuhashi, according to Le Parisien. Andoni Iraola's side are assessing potential attacking reinforcements, and Furuhashi's proven goal-scoring record has placed him on their radar. Furuhashi, 30, made a significant impact during his time at Celtic, netting 85 goals in 165 appearances and securing eight major honours, including three Premiership titles. His performances at Hampden Park earned him a move to Ligue 1 outfit Rennes back in January for a €10 million fee. Furuhashi has not had the best of times during his brief spell in France so far, with no goals for his new employers, but the 30-year-old remains a man in demand. Prior to his switch to Roazhon Park, Furuhashi was wanted by Manchester City as a potential replacement for Julian Alvarez last summer, although a move failed to materialise. However, Furuhashi could now be set for another shot at English football, with Bournemouth now eyeing a deal for the Japanese international. Furuhashi is not the only Rennes player of interest to Bournemouth, as the Cherries also hold an interest in Adrien Truffert. Truffert, 22, has been a consistent performer in Ligue 1, making over 100 appearances for Rennes since breaking into the first team in 2020. Known for his pace, technical ability, and willingness to push forward, Truffert offers a modern full-back profile that appeals to clubs looking for dynamism on the flanks. Bournemouth's interest in Truffert is hardly surprising due to Milos Kerkez's impending departure amid links to Manchester City and Liverpool. Should Bournemouth move forward with their desire to sign Truffert, they will be hoping to fend off competition and secure one of Ligue 1's brightest defensive talents. The left-back has one year left on his current contract but could be sold this summer as Rennes look to trim down their squad size before the commencement of their pre-season training camp on June 28.

Nottingham Forest target James McAtee, Liam Delap and three others in summer spree
Nottingham Forest are targeting at least five new signings this summer as they prepare for a return to European football. Forest will aim to strengthen their squad by recruiting two forwards, a left-back, two wingers and another goalkeeper. With Nuno Espirito Santo fighting to qualify for either the Champions League or Europa League, Forest are expecting a busy summer and are determined to add quality and depth to what will be a 22-man squad to comply with Uefa regulations. Since achieving promotion in 2022, Forest have spent more than £250 million on players and the remit this summer will be to recruit signings of around the £20 million to £30 million mark. Forest's recruitment model has delivered many successes for bargain transfer fees including Nikola Milenkovic (£10.1 million from Fiorentina), Murillo (£10 million from Corinthians), Callum Hudson-Odoi (£3 million from Chelsea) and Anthony Elanga (£13.5 million from Manchester United). Over the past year, Forest have scouted targets including Adrien Truffert, the Rennes left-back, James McAtee, Manchester City attacking midfielder, Liam Delap, Ipswich Town forward, and Mateus Fernandes from Southampton. There is no pressure to sell any players to comply with profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and Forest's finances are in a healthy state with the club reporting a pre-tax profit of £12.1 million in their last accounts. However, it is certain that some players will leave this summer to create room for the squad and to increase quality. The future of England international Morgan Gibbs-White remains uncertain, with Manchester City interested, and will likely dictate Forest's transfer strategy. Forest have registered their interest in Delap, who will be available for around £30 million following Ipswich's relegation. There is an acceptance that Delap has many other admirers, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle United, and while reaching a deal may be remote Forest believe he would flourish in their game model. Forest have scouted many other forwards in Germany and France, while Brentford's Yoane Wissa remains on their radar. Wissa has been a target for Forest over the past two transfer windows and another move is expected if the asking price is viewed as sensible. A top priority for Forest is at left-back, despite Wales international Neco Williams emerging as one of their stars of the season. With Aston Villa loanee Alex Moreno to return to his parent club and uncertainty over the future of Harry Toffolo, who is a free agent this summer, Forest want to bring in a specialist in that position to cope with the increase in matches. Among the options is France international Truffert, 23. Truffert has been on Forest's radar for over 12 months and is highly regarded, though there are other names on the list. Forest are also long-term admirers of McAtee. Fernandes, 20, is also under consideration following Southampton's relegation and fits Forest's profile with his age and potential. Nuno will be heavily involved in recruitment but has said talks will be delayed until Forest know exactly what competition they will be operating in, with Champions League qualification still possible. He said: 'People in the club are dealing with next season, not us as coaching staff. This moment requires everything that you have for the responsibilities ahead of us. The recruitment staff and scouting team will be working on that and there will be the right moment to speak and sit down.' Forest will look to retain the core of their squad by holding discussions over new contracts. Williams is in line for an improved deal after his excellent season, and Hudson-Odoi has held initial talks over improved terms with discussions to advance in the summer. Ola Aina has been another stand-out player and the expectation is that he will sign a new contract that has been on the table for months. He has already triggered an extra year which will cover next season. Many other key players are already signed up, with Murillo and Chris Wood committing their futures to the club earlier this year. Departures are certain, though, with many players either out on loan or struggling for first-team opportunities to be sold. Tyler Bindon, the New Zealand international, was signed for £700,000 from Reading in January before he was loaned back to the League One club. He will join Forest for pre-season and is viewed as a young player with big potential. A loan to the Championship is likely for the 20-year-old. The expectation is still that Edu, the former Arsenal sporting director, will join Evangelos Marinakis's group as the head of his global football operations. Edu is in line for a senior role working across Marinakis's multi-club ownerships and, though the precise nature of the position is still under discussion, his arrival is regarded as a formality. After leaving Arsenal in November, Edu's gardening leave period has now ended. The prospect of a position heading up Marinakis's football clubs appeals to the Brazilian, who resigned from Arsenal following a successful five-year period. Forest are in talks to finalise their pre-season plans with a training camp in Europe. A short tour in either the United States or Australia was floated but ultimately viewed as not commercially viable, so Spain or Portugal appears most likely. Forest's players have pointed to last summer's pre-season in Murcia as a pivotal part of this season's success.
