Latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as Serhou Guirassy explains why he didn’t join the Reds this past summer
Reported Nottingham Forest target Serhou Guirassy has explained why he turned down a move to the City Ground this summer.
The 27-year-old was linked with a switch to the Reds, after impressing in Germany with his current club VfB Stuttgart. After much speculation over his future in the recent window, he stayed put and has now been asked if a Premier League move could be in his future.
Guirassy said he would be open to a Premier League move in the future, though did not mention Forest explicitly. He also made it clear that he would be just as happy if he were never to play in England.
“We (Stuttgart) have a good team, a good coach and incredible fans,” he told Bild. We feel very comfortable as a family in Stuttgart. That’s why I decided to stay at VfB.”
Asked if it was his dream to play in the top flight of English football, he said: “Not exactly a dream. But if there is an option to move to the Premier League at some point, why not? But it’s not like I dream about it every day.”
He has scored an incredible 10 goals in five Bundesliga matches so far this season, three more than Bayern Munich’s star striker Harry Kane. If that continues, he will certainly not be short of suitors in the January transfer window.
