Report:Nottingham forest keen to sign John Egan from Sheffield this summer

Nottingham Forest eyeing move for Sheffield United player

Since joining the Blades in the summer of 2018 from Brentford, the Irishman has been a great asset,

making frequent appearances and earning two promotions to the top level.

However, he missed a significant portion of the 2023–24 season due to an Achilles injury,

and United’s defense was appallingly weak without him.

Egan could have contributed to lowering the club’s record after conceding an incredible 104 goals in 38 premier

league games the previous season, but he hasn’t played for the team since September.

The Irishman’s contract at Bramall Lane is about to expire today, which has contributed to his current

circumstances.

Before making a new contract offer to the player, United reportedly wants to watch how he heals from his injury,

according to the Sheffield Star.

Although Egan is entirely focused on getting back into shape, he will eventually need to make a crucial decision on

his future because it is now believed that Forest is interested in signing him.

Clubs are now able to formally approach the Irishman, and if the central defender makes a full recovery, Chris

Wilder might be eager to tie him down in the upcoming days or weeks, as his future is uncertain.

John Egan Forest, who ended up staying up at the end of the previous season despite losing points, is a player that

Nottingham Forest is eager to have at his disposal for the upcoming campaign.

Egan, a defender who can be signed on a free transfer, might be a nice addition for the East Midlands team, but they

will need to limit their expenditure after breaking financial regulations.
