AliousEvangelos Marinakis is gearing up to make significant investments in Nottingham Forest during the January transfer window following their impressive start to the Premier League season.
This news comes from Mick Brown, a former chief scout for Manchester United and Blackburn, who is well-connected in football circles. Brown exclusively told *Football Insider* that Marinakis is ready to spend big on potential signings, echoing statements made earlier by former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, who also confirmed that the Forest owner is committed to improving the squad this month.
Sitting third in the Premier League table after 20 games, level on points with Arsenal and just four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, Forest are in an excellent position to push for Champions League qualification. With nearly half of the season still to go, there’s growing optimism among fans that they could achieve this historic milestone by May. However, the club’s leadership believes there’s still room for improvement to maximize their chances of finishing strong.
Marinakis, known for his willingness to invest in the club, has made it clear that he is committed to strengthening the squad further. Having already spent around £88 million on player signings during the summer, it’s expected that he will continue to back Forest financially in January.
Brown, with over a decade of experience in top-level football recruitment, including his time at Manchester United during their successful years, emphasized that the club’s ambitions for European qualification will likely drive further investment. He remarked, “Given Forest’s current position, nobody expected them to be here, and I think the owner will want to strengthen the squad to give them the best chance at qualifying for Europe.”
With Marinakis known for his bold decisions and unwavering support, it wouldn’t be surprising if the club makes some major moves in the transfer window, especially if he believes it could bolster the squad’s chances of securing a place in Europe. Forest fans can likely look forward to more significant spending if the owner feels the team can be further strengthened to meet their lofty goals.
