# Nottingham Forest: Reds line up Jordan Hugill move

**Nottingham Forest are eyeing up a swoop for Norwich City striker Jordan Hugill as their search for attacking options continues, as reported by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-nottingham-forest-line-up-move-for-norwich-star-hugill/).**

### The Lowdown: Nottingham Forest build towards 2021/22

Moving into 2021/22, Reds manager Chris Hughton will be desperate to acquire the players he feels are necessary to improve on their 17th-placed finish last term.

Despite not venturing into the transfer market as of yet, the Nottinghamshire giants have been linked with a switch for Watford defender Zian Fleming \[[Veronica Inside](https://www.veronicainside.nl/nieuws/nottingham-forest-wil-fortuna-middenvelder-zian-flemming)\].

Could they now be poised to edge closer to a first summer signing following recent reports?

Nottingham Forest are ready to test the water with a bid for the striker, whilst they have placed stock in his proven goalscoring record in the Football League \[[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-nottingham-forest-line-up-move-for-norwich-star-hugill/)\].

### The Verdict: Hugill would add firepower to Forest’s attack

Hugill could conceivably add some firepower to the Reds’ attack as they seek improvement in 2021/22. Across his career, he has registered 82 goal contributions from 278 career appearances, with 71 goals and 11 assists \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-hugill/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/291544)\].

Most recently, he helped his current employers Norwich to [Championship promotion](https://theathletic.com/news/norwich-championship-premier-league-promotion/SX8hzKBbud4O) in 2020/21, making five goal contributions in 34 appearances, four goals and one assist \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-hugill/leistungsdaten/spieler/291544/plus/0?saison=2020)\].

His work can often go unnoticed , something which has been highlighted by his manager Daniel Farke, who stated that Hugill “thinks about the team more than he thinks about himself” in an interview in January 2021 \[[The PinkUn](https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/city-boss-assesses-jordan-hugill-impact-6896786)\].

Farke has also described Hugill as a “role model” in recent times, something which is bound to please the City Ground faithful \[[The PinkUn](https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/canaries-jordan-hugill-nottingham-forest-interest-8128998)\].

Looking ahead to 2021/22, Nottingham Forest should look to seal the deal for the Canaries attacker before other clubs take an interest and swoop for him.
