Keinan Davis of Nottingham Forest scores
Norwich have joined Nottingham Forest in the race to sign Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis, Football Insider report.
The Lowdown: Davis at Forest
The 24-year-old left Villa Park to join Forest on loan at the beginning of the year and hasn’t looked back.
Davis, who has scored just six goals in 86 appearances for Villa, has starred in 2022, already netting five times in 13 games at the City Ground.
Should Villa sell Davis this summer?
Yes, cash in now!
No, keep him!
He has also provided three assists for the Reds, helping them into the Championship playoffs. Unfortunately though, Davis has now been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring problem.
The Latest: Source shares update
Football Insider shared an update regarding Davis’ future on Monday lunchtime after being informed by a recruitment source.
They claim that Norwich, managed by former Villa boss Dean Smith, are now ready to rival Forest for Davis’ services. A loan or a permanent exit are both options, with Villa expected to be open to offers for the forward over the coming months.
The Verdict: Right decision?
A £4m figure was included in the recent report, with Davis under contract for a further two years. He has shown at Forest that he can become a regular goal scorer, however, things have never really worked out for him in the Midlands under both Smith and Gerrard.
The current Villa boss was thought to be a big fan of Davis when he arrived at Villa Park from Rangers, but he never featured under Gerrard and now looks set to move on.
On that basis, a permanent exit could be best for all involved over the coming months, so it could be one to keep a close eye on.
