Africafoot reveals that Nottingham Forest is one of three clubs closely monitoring Jerome Opoku and has intensified scouting in recent weeks because of his consistent performances in the Turkish Süper Lig. According to Footy-Africa, Opoku's value could increase if he performs well at the 2026 World Cup, which could lead to a transfer battle for him among interested clubs.

Nottingham Forest are seriously pursuing 27-year-old Ghanaian international centre-back Jerome Opoku and face competition from his former club, Fulham. A source within the player's agency confirmed to Footy-Africa that Forest's interest is serious, discussions with Başakşehir are underway, and Sean Dyche personally advocated for the player. Fulham is reportedly preparing a January offer for Opoku, who is under contract with Basaksehir until 2027 and is valued at 5 million euros.
