Arnaud Kalimuendo faces uncertain Forest future as Eintracht Frankfurt plan move
Eintracht Frankfurt have reignited their interest in securing Nottingham Forest striker Arnaud Kalimuendo ahead of the January transfer window. The German side is looking into both loan options and permanent deal structures for the player as his game time at the City Ground remains limited.
The 24-year-old forward has found regular starts hard to come by in the Premier League this season. He remains under contract at Nottingham Forest through to 2030, giving the English club control over any negotiations.

clubSix goals in 19 Bundesliga appearances during his loan spell last season proved his ability in top-flight football. That productive period in Germany continues to drive interest from outside the Premier League despite his recent lack of starts.
Eintracht Frankfurt stand as the primary potential destination for a mid-season move. The German club is pushing hardest to secure his services as they look to bolster their options in attack.

The forward offers a direct attacking profile, utilizing pace and mobility to stretch opposition back lines. His previous success in Germany showed an ability to operate dynamically within a fast-transition system, matching the quick passing style favored by Bundesliga sides.
Nottingham Forest squad depth and forward selection
Squad competition at the City Ground has restricted his opportunities to lead the line on a consistent basis. Sanctioning a move would reduce overall central striking numbers, though his limited minutes mean a departure would not disrupt the established starting eleven.
Eintracht Frankfurt push for transfer structures
Eintracht Frankfurt previously held an option to buy the striker for £22.4 million following his initial loan, while Nottingham Forest held out for over £25 million in summer talks. With those valuation differences preventing a permanent agreement earlier in the year, the upcoming winter window presents another opportunity to structure a viable fee.
