Pape Matar Sarr transfer takes fresh twist as two Premier League clubs show interest

Nottingham Forest and Everton have emerged as potential destinations for Senegal midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, with both Premier League clubs considering moves for the Tottenham player as the transfer window approaches its final hours.

According to Taggat, Nottingham Forest could make an offer to Tottenham on Thursday as they look to sign Sarr on a permanent basis. Tottenham are reportedly more interested in a permanent transfer than a loan deal for the Senegal international.

Everton are also following developments and could make an approach of their own for the former FC Metz midfielder.

The latest interest from the two Premier League clubs comes after Sarr had appeared to be moving closer to a switch to Monaco.

The Senegalese midfielder had already reached a personal agreement with the French club and held talks with Monaco manager Filipe Luís, who is understood to be an admirer of the player’s qualities.

However, a deal between Tottenham and Monaco has yet to be completed.

According to the Telegraph, the two clubs still have to settle the final details of the proposed transfer, leaving Sarr’s next destination uncertain with the transfer window nearing its conclusion.

The emergence of Nottingham Forest and Everton has therefore added another layer to a developing transfer situation.

Forest are reportedly preparing to test Tottenham’s position with an offer for a permanent deal, while Everton are also considering whether to make a formal approach.

Tottenham’s preference for a permanent transfer could prove significant as Monaco had been pursuing the player after agreeing personal terms with him.

Sarr’s situation has consequently remained unresolved despite his progress towards a move to France.

The Senegal midfielder now has interest from two Premier League clubs, while Monaco remain involved in the race for his signature.

With the transfer window close to shutting, the situation could still develop quickly, particularly if Nottingham Forest follow through with their reported intention to submit an offer.

For now, no final agreement has been reached between Tottenham and Monaco, while Forest and Everton’s interest has created further uncertainty over where Sarr will continue his career.

The coming hours will determine whether the midfielder completes his expected move to Monaco or remains in the Premier League with another club.
