Nottingham Forest have officially launched their move for Dan Ndoye, with Fabrizio Romano reporting a first formal bid has now been sent to Bologna for the Swiss winger.
Ndoye is viewed as Forest’s priority target out wide this summer, and talks are now expected to accelerate with the Serie A club. The 24-year-old has already agreed to join the Premier League side, giving the green light to personal terms and signalling his intent to make the move to the City Ground.
Why Dan Ndoye Is Forest’s Main Winger Target
Nottingham Forest are in the market for an explosive wide player following the exits of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga. Ndoye fits the bill — a powerful runner with Champions League and EURO 2024 experience under his belt.
“Dan has the pace, work ethic and top-level mentality we’re looking for,” said a Forest insider. —Football Place
The Switzerland international impressed with Bologna last season, helping them qualify for the Champions League with standout displays down the right flank. He also featured prominently for Switzerland at EURO 2024, adding to his growing reputation across Europe.
Stats Table: Dan Ndoye (2024/25)

| Serie A | 34 | 4 | 5 |
| Champions League | 6 | 1 | 1 |
| EURO 2024 | 4 | 0 | 1 |
How Ndoye Fits into Nuno’s Forest System
With Nuno Espírito Santo staying on as manager, Forest are expected to play a dynamic 4-2-3-1 system. Ndoye’s ability to press, track back and beat defenders one-on-one makes him a natural fit for Nuno’s tactical approach.
His versatility — able to play on either wing or even at wing-back — also adds value, especially with Forest pushing for more depth before the season kicks off.
