According to Africafoot, Nottingham Forest is interested in signing Congolese international Rocky Bushiri during the winter transfer window. Sources report that the Premier League club is seeking a defensive reinforcement. The club has reportedly made the 25-year-old an important target and is considering a four-year contract. Initial contact has already been made with Hibernian FC, which the defender joined in July 2022, and the Scottish Premiership club has reportedly given its approval for Forest's recruitment team to speak with the player.
Bushiri, who extended his contract until June 2028 last summer, is said to be open to leaving this winter after a first half of the season in which he has made 9 appearances and scored 2 goals in the Scottish Premiership. A source close to the player told Africafoot that Nottingham Forest's interest is genuine and that the defender, who holds 5 caps for DR Congo and also has Belgian nationality, would be very pleased to advance his career by joining the club. The same source also described him as a quality central defender. His market value is listed as 1 million euros on the website Transfermarkt.
