23-year-old forward Kemar
Roofe has been one of the star players throughout Oxford United’s superb League
Two campaign to date. The youngster has now been linked with a potential switch
to Forest in the summer.
This link follows interesting
comments from owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi surrounding the Financial Fair Play
situation this summer. Forest are expected to have their embargo lifted in the
summer, but another heavy summer of spending would be likely to put Forest back
into embargo again. However, Al-Hasawi has hinted that he will back the new
manager considerably in the transfer market and that any FFP implications as a
result will be dealt with when they occur. This is a very risky decision but is
one which could pay off if Forest managed to gain promotion to the Premier
League.
Kemar Roofe could be Nottingham Forest's first signing of the summer.
Kemar Roofe looks like he
could potentially be Forest’s first signing of the summer despite the fact they
have yet to find a new manager. Roofe has scored 25 goals in all competitions
this season and looks more than capable of making the step up to the
Championship. As Roofe can play both out wide and up front, his versatility is
likely to make him a pleasing addition to any manager especially considering Forest’s
lack of cutting edge upfront this season.

However, there is bound to be
competition from other clubs for his signature with Premier League outfit
Sunderland also said to be interested. Reading are also said to be in the hunt
for the youngster who has so much potential. Al-Hasawi will be hoping he can
persuade Roofe to make the switch to the City Ground.
Let me know if you think Roofe
would be a good signing for Forest!
