Nottingham Forest player should jump at the chance to join Leeds United: Opinion

Nottingham Forest player should be eager to leave the club and join Leeds United.

As the transfer window closes in on the final week before it closes, teams up and down the country are looking to wrap up any late business they may want to do, and Leeds United are no different.

The Yorkshire side have dominated most of the talk this summer, and even in the remaining days, they are expected to continue doing so.

Leeds have seen some big-name players leave the club over the past few months, while some who remain at the club still want out.

Many will have expected more movement from the club by now as their season is underway and the squad still looks someway off what Daniel Farke may want it to be.

However, that might be starting to change, as according to TEAMtalk, Leeds are considering a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.

What is Jonjo Shelvey’s current situation at Nottingham Forest?

The 31-year-old joined Forest from Newcastle United in January of this year after falling down the pecking order with the Magpies.

However, his six months at Forest haven’t been the most successful, as he’s only played eight times and was named on the bench in most matches.

He has yet to feature for Forest in their opening two games of the Premier League campaign and it seems his future may lie elsewhere.

Shelvey signed a contact until the summer of 2025 when he joined the club, so he still has two years remaining on his current deal.

But it now appears as though his time at the club could be about to end, as Farke wants to improve his midfield and has identified Shelvey as an option.

The report from TEAMtalk adds that Forest are said to be open to offers for the midfielder as they look to offload players before the deadline.

The midfielder could be considered a good signing for the club given his Championship experience and his ability on the ball.

Why should Jonjo Shelvey leave Nottingham Forest for Leeds United?

It was revealed at the beginning of July that Nottingham Forest were planning on moving Shelvey out of the club, as he was deemed surplus to requirements.
