Nottingham Forest Player Linked With Exit on Sean Dyche’s First Day in Charge

A Nottingham Forest player has been linked with a move away from the club on Sean Dyche's first day in charge.

Last weekend, Forest parted ways with Ange Postecoglou after their 3-0 defeat by Chelsea at the City Ground.

Although the news was expected, many were surprised by the fact that Forest confirmed Postecoglou's sacking within 30 minutes after the final whistle.

After dismissing Postecoglou, Forest moved quickly as they drafted in Dyche as the Australian's replacement.

Speaking upon taking over, Dyche said: "The basics have always got to be in place. Strong, fit and organised is always a good place to start, but I want the players to have the freedom to go and play.

"There’s some real talent here, so our job now is to find that balance — the risk and reward of going forward to score goals and excite the crowd, but equally the solid base which has been such a big weapon for the Club, particularly last season. Finding that balance will be key."

Dyche's first match in charge of Forest will be Thursday night's UEFA Europa League clash against Portuguese giants FC Porto.

During Dyche's first day as Forest boss, one of his players had already been linked with a move away from the City Ground.

As reported by talkSPORT, star striker Chris Wood could be on former boss Nuno Espirito Santo's wanted list.

Following a dreadful start to his tenure at the London Stadium, Santo has reportedly informed West Ham United that he needs at least three new signings in the winter, including a striker.

Against Brentford on Monday night, West Ham started with no strikers as Niclas Fullkrug was injured and Callum Wilson was left on the bench.

In the end, the Hammers produced a dismal performance with Brentford winning 2-0.

It has been suggested that West Ham could look at Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who has fallen down Ruben Amorim's pecking order.

The report also stated that Santo would prefer to bring in a target man, with Wood and Raul Jimenez mentioned as potential options.
