Nottingham Forest Target Mehdi Taremi

Published January 13, 2026, 09:34

Nottingham Forest have identified Mehdi Taremi of Olympiacos as their primary target to strengthen their attacking line. According to reports from The Times and Athletic, the Iranian striker is leading the list of candidates, even ahead of Jorgensen Strand Larsen of Wolves, who is valued at £40 million. Manager Sean Dyche believes Taremi's playing style suits the team's needs, as he is strong in the air, an effective scorer, and helps with ball circulation. Simultaneously, Forest is expected to offload Kalimuendo, who has failed to adapt. The common ownership of both clubs by Evangelos Marinakis could facilitate the transfer, unless there is opposition from Olympiacos fans. Taremi has scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists in 21 appearances this season.
