Nottingham Forest in talks to sign Strasbourg’s Dilane Bakwa | OneFootball

At the start of the transfer window, Dilane Bakwa (22) was one of the players touted to leave RC Strasbourg Alsace. That has not yet come to pass, however, the France U21 international is the subject of talks with a Premier League side, as revealed by Mohamed Toubache-Ter and confirmed by L’Équipe.

Bakwa has excelled at Strasbourg since making the move from Girondins de Bordeaux back in 2023. In 66 games in all competitions, the winger has 11 goals and 18 assists. He played a key role in ensuring Les Alsaciens’ qualification for UEFA Europa Conference League football for the coming season.

However, he may not take any part in that campaign. Toubache-Ter reports that Nottingham Forest are in talks to sign Bakwa. Their interest in the French winger follows interest shown in AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, who plays in the same position. Akliouche is also of interest to Bayer Leverkusen, as per Bild.
