Exclusive: Nottingham Forest star is now wanted by top-six PL sides
Top-six Premier League sides are expected to monitor the progression of Gio Reyna during his spell at Nottingham Forest, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking to the new edition of Football Insider’s Insider Track Podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the highly-rated attacker could put himself on the radar of big clubs if he flourishes in the top flight.
However, there is no obligation to buy, meaning he could be sold to another side after his time at the City Ground.
He has had an impressive four years at the Bundesliga giants since joining from MLS side New York City FC in 2019.
Reyna has risen through the ranks at Dortmund and has made 121 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 16 assists.
This season, he has struggled to earn starts after returning from injury four weeks into the season.
He made just one start in the Bundesliga out of 15 overall appearances, but big English clubs are expected to be interested in a move in the summer should he revive his form outside of Germany.
Reyna’s versatility has allowed him to play on both flanks and in attacking midfield this season.
He is an established member of the USMNT, having made 24 appearances since his debut in November 2020.
Nottingham Forest sit 16th in the Premier League table following their 2-1 defeat to title challengers Arsenal on Tuesday (30 January).
They are next back in action on Sunday afternoon (4 February) when they travel to play Bournemouth.
