Nottingham Forest Target Steven Benda as Evan Ferguson Attracts Serie A Interest

 

The summer transfer window continues to gather pace, with Nottingham Forest and several European clubs exploring moves to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.

 

Nottingham Forest Target Ex-Premier League Goalkeeper

 

Nottingham Forest are reportedly closing in on former Fulham goalkeeper Steven Benda as they look to add depth to their goalkeeping department. The 27-year-old is available as a free agent after his contract with Fulham expired, making him an attractive option for Forest.

 

Forest are believed to be seeking a new third-choice goalkeeper following the departures of Angus Gunn and Stefan Ortega. Reports suggest that negotiations for Benda are progressing, with the club keen to complete the deal.

 

The move would represent another piece of business for Forest, who have already strengthened their squad this summer, including the signing of Ousmane Diomande from Sporting.

 

Evan Ferguson Wanted in Serie A

 

Meanwhile, Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson is once again attracting interest from Serie A. The Brighton forward is being considered by Genoa, who are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing him back to Italy on loan.

 

Ferguson previously spent the 2025–26 campaign on loan at Roma, but his season was disrupted by an ankle injury that eventually required surgery. He has not featured for Brighton since December 2024, leaving his immediate future uncertain.

 

Genoa are not the only Italian club monitoring the striker. Torino have also reportedly opened discussions over a possible move, as Serie A clubs look to offer Ferguson an opportunity to rebuild his confidence and rediscover the form that once made him one of the Premier League’s most highly rated young forwards.

 

With the transfer window still open, both stories could develop further in the coming days. Forest’s pursuit of Benda appears focused on squad depth, while Ferguson’s situation could result in another spell in Italy as he looks to relaunch his career.
