Spending 34 million pounds, Nottingham added quality striker Dan Ndoye from Bologna. As a result, the Swiss star broke the transfer record of this club itself.
After selling Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, Nottingham targeted a series of names like Jack Grealish (Man City), Alejandro Garnacho (Man United) or Dan Ndoye (Bologna) … After thorough analysis, BLD and coach Santo decided to recruit NDOYO.
In addition to Nottingham, Napoli also wanted to recruit the Swiss striker, but in the end, the Premier League team won the deal.
Specifically, Nottingham persuaded Bolgona to release Ndoye for £ 34 million (42 million euros). The 24 -year -old striker has signed a 5 -year contract with City Ground. He became Nuno Santo's fourth rookie in this transfer, after Jair Cunha (from Botafogo), Cherif Yaya (from Rio Ave) and Igor Jesus (Botafogo).
With a fee of 42 million euros, Ndoye became the most expensive player in Nottingham history. The previous record belonged to midfielder Elliot Anderson, a player who was recruited from Newcastle for 41.2 million euros.
After signing a contract and launching a new club, Ndoye shared: “I am really happy to become a new member of the club. Nottingham is in a very interesting time and I want to become a part of this project. This is the team with ambition and heroic history. I am very eager to start the new chapter here.”
Nottingham football director, Ross Wilson added: “Ndoye is a great addition to our squad. We have watched him for a long time and really happy when he joined the ambitious journey with the club.”
Under the guidance of Nuno Santo, Nottingham has risen strongly. Last season, they had a time to climb the top 3 Premier League and the door to win the Champions League. However, they were short of breath at the sprint stage, so they only rolled in the 7th position.
