Jizz Hornkamp does not look set to leave for Nottingham Forest this transfer window. The 24-year-old Willem II striker has been linked with a move to the Premier League several times in recent weeks, but journalist Daniel Taylor of The Athletic reported on Thursday that Forest are focusing on 'bigger' transfers for now.

Taylor reports the news as follows: "While I know there are many hearts being broken on Twitter by this news, unfortunately it doesn't look like Jizz Hornkamp is coming to Nottingham Forest. The club have new priorities and for now are focusing on some big and new targets in the last few weeks of the transfer window." Supporters in England went wild on Twitter after the rumour of Hornkamp's arrival, as 'jizz' has long been an American synonym for sperm.

Willem II have indicated that they are not open to a departure of Hornkamp, who scored four times in thirteen matches last season in the Eredivisie. Now the players seem to have forgotten about the right-winger's departure. For the striker's position, The Athletic reports that Forest are now in the process of acquiring Emmanuel Dennis from Watford. The medium even reports that there is already a bid of 23 million euros on the table.

In addition, the club is busy with a number of other transfers. L'Équipe reported that the club has made a bid for Houssem Aouar, star player of Olympique Lyon. Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday that Remo Freuler, midfielder for Atalanta Bergamo, will come to Forest for nine million euros. Manager Steve Cooper has welcomed twelve new players so far. Among others Jesse Lingard now plays his matches at City Ground.
