# Nottingham Forest: Reds fail to agree personal terms with Maxwel Cornet

**[Nottingham Forest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/nottingham-forest-news/)’s attempts to sign Burnley winger Maxwel Cornet appear to be off after the player failed to agree personal terms at the City Ground, as per [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/1159499/transfer-notebook-premier-league-maxwel-cornet-newcastle-chelsea-west-ham-filip-kostic/).**

### The Lowdown: Cornet interest

The Reds have been extremely busy in the transfer market ahead of their long-awaited [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) return, with signings into [double figures](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nottingham-forest/transfers/verein/703). Forest’s summer spending is approaching [£100m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nottingham-forest/transfers/verein/703), but more new arrivals could be on the way, with Cornet another player linked with a move to Nottingham.

Described as [‘terrific’](https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/maxwel-cornet-injury-burnley-transfers-22409308) by Owen Hargreaves, the 25-year-old was believed to be of interest to Steve Cooper, but it looks as if a transfer is unlikely.

### The Latest: talkSPORT update

[talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/1159499/transfer-notebook-premier-league-maxwel-cornet-newcastle-chelsea-west-ham-filip-kostic/) shared a story on Saturday morning regarding Cornet, who has been a man in demand following Burnley’s relegation to the Championship.

They claimed that the 25-year-old failed to agree on personal terms over a potential transfer in what has been described as a boost to Newcastle.

### The Verdict: Not ideal

Cornet has scored an impressive [67](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/maxwel-cornet/leistungsdaten/spieler/234781) goals for club and country throughout his career and made a good impression in the Premier League with Burnley.

He would have added [plenty of versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/maxwel-cornet/leistungsdaten/spieler/234781) to Cooper’s squad as he is capable of playing as a full-back, midfielder, winger or centre-forward.

Forest haven’t been dealt too many setbacks this summer with players continuing to arrive, but unfortunately it looks as if Cornet won’t be playing at the City Ground this season.
