Nottingham Forest table an offer to bring Spezia Calcio world star to the PL this summer

According to rumors, Nottingham Forest have lodged an offer to transfer Spezia Calcio player Bartlomiej Dragowski to the Premier League.

Who exactly is Bartlomiej Dragowski?

Dragowski is a natural goalkeeper who currently plays at the Stadio Alberto Picco after joining from Fiorentina last summer. Despite not being Leonardo Semplici’s official number one, Dragowski quickly established himself as first-choice between the sticks last season, appearing in 34 of 38 Serie A matches.

The Poland international has two years left on his contract in Italy, but after impressing in his rookie season, he’s attracted the eye of Steve Cooper, and this isn’t the first time he’s been connected with a move to The City Ground this summer.

The Reds, Bournemouth, and Southampton were all rumoured to be interested in signing the 25-year-old in June, although it was stated at the time that the former had made it their priority to complete a permanent move for Dean Henderson.

However, Football Insider have since revealed that whilst Manchester United’s shot-stopper wants to make the switch, the move is in jeopardy because they are still holding on to him which means that the boss could be forced to turn his attention towards alternatives, a process that he already appears to be underway with.

According to Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb (via Sport Witness), Dragowski is currently “evaluating” offers that he has received, one being from Nottingham Forest and the other from Fenerbahce.

The Midlands outfit’s interest is believed to have created “sirens”, and whilst it’s unknown as to whether the two parties are in talks, it’s stated that “developments are expected soon”, likely meaning that he is set to make an immient decision on his future, whether this be accepting one of the proposals in front of him or if he’d rather stay where he is.

As previously stated, Nottingham Forest would be better off identifying other goalkeeping targets seen as a deal for Henderson is proving difficult, and it could well have worked out for the best for Cooper because Dragowski would actually be an upgrade on the Man United star despite being less of a high-profile name.

Last season, Spezia’s £21.5k-per-week earner kept seven clean sheets, one more than Henderson’s six, and he also made 112 saves from 164 shots on target against, giving him a success rate of 69.5% compared to the Red Devils ace’s 65.9%, making him a better option than the loanee.

Dragowski, who stands at 6 foot 2 and has been dubbed a “superman” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has an extremely strong range of passing, having completed 99.5% of his short attempts and 98.1% of his medium passes last season, and has an eye for playing out from the back, and it would be a massive coup if the boss is able to secure his services if he accepts the proposal in the coming weeks.
