      And now his son could make the same switch to the City Ground.
      According to The Athletic, Forest are considering a swoop for his son Sydney.
      Van Hooijdonk Jr is enjoying a fine season on loan at Heerenveen from Bologna.
      His 16 goals in 31 games have helped propel the Dutch outfit to ninth in the Eredivisie.

      But when he returns to his parent club in the summer, the 23-year-old striker is expected to be available for transfer.
      It is unclear if Forest will definitely go in for the 6ft 3ins striker but the report could face competition for his signature with SunSport revealing interest from Stoke, Swansea, Cardiff and Millwall.
      But the emotional ties to the club could sway a battle in the East Midlanders’ favour.
      Dad Pierre scored 41 goals in 77 games for Forest and helped the club to promotion to the Premier League.

      However, he went on strike over a disagreement about his future.
      And although he did return to the team, Forest were relegated and Van Hooijdonk Sr left.
      But there does not seem to be too much bad blood between the family and the club.
      Van Hooijdonk Jr got himself a ticket for last year’s Championship play-off final at Wembley.
      Forest beat Huddersfield to return to the top flight for the first time in 23 years.
      Despite making 29 signings, Steve Cooper’s side are at serious risk of relegation.
      They sit 18th in the table, level on points with Everton but face a tough run-in.
      Should they go down, though, they could turn to another Van Hooijdonk to fire them back to the Premier League again. More

      Newcastle set to rip up cautious transfer approach and break bank with Declan Rice among four ‘elite’ signings targeted

      by

      NEWCASTLE are set to abandon their cautious approach to the summer transfer market by signing four “elite” stars, according to reports. A massive outlay of around £250million across the last three transfer windows gave rise to the club’s owners wanting to err on the side of caution to stay within Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

      However, the rapid progress made under Eddie Howe has seen this plan scrapped.
      According to The Telegraph, Howe and director of football Dan Ashworth put an argument to the owners that now was the time to be bold and consolidate their progress.
      This argument has won out, with sources both inside and outside of the club said to be anticipating a rise in revenue streams thanks to European Football.
      With this, Newcastle’s new aggressive strategy will see them target at least four elite stars.

      Among these are long-term target James Maddison, the highly sought-after Declan Rice and Brighton duo Moises Caicedo and Karou Mitoma.

      These plans could hinder a number of clubs in the summer, particularly the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, who have been linked with a number of the stars mentioned.
      Just one player has left for serious money since the club was brought out by Saudi Arabian’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), that being Chris Wood for £12m.
      The Toon currently sit fourth in the league with a three-point gap to fifth-place Tottenham, who have also played a game more. More

      The attacker rejected a chance to reunite with David Moyes and West Ham, where he had a fruitful loan spell at the end of 2022, in favour of a move to Forest.
      The move has not gone to plan, as he finds himself on the fringes of the matchday squad, having only made 17 appearances in the Premier League this season.
      Lingard, 30, has failed to score in the league for Steve Cooper’s side, but has netted twice and assisted twice in three EFL Cup appearances.
      He will be a free agent in the summer as his contract expires, but he will reportedly not be short of offers.

      Although it is said that the Foxes will likely focus on a move for Lens star Lois Openda instead.
      If Lingard were to favour a move to Turkey, he would be following in the footsteps of Dele Alli and Nathan Redmond.

      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, he is “100% guaranteed” to leave when the summer transfer window opens.
      Romano tweeted: “Understand Alexis Mac Allister and his camp consider summer move as 100% guaranteed. The expectation is for an early transfer.
      “Alexis will give his best for Brighton until June.
      “Liverpool and Man United will discuss with player side soon.”

      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly made Mac Allister his top transfer target last week after the Reds pulled out of the race to sign Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.
      Dortmund have set an asking price of £130million for Bellingham which has been deemed far too expensive by Liverpool officials.
      Instead, they have turned their attention to Mac Allister, who is expected to cost around £80m.
      However, several other clubs including Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal have also expressed an interest in signing him so a bidding war could ensue.

      Mac Allister’s father, Carlos, recently revealed that the midfielder will likely seek a move away at the end of the season.
      He said: “Normally, the upcoming transfer market will find him playing for another club, we don’t know which one yet as the talks are starting.

      “It’s very likely that Alexis will be playing in another team in the summer.”
      Mac Allister joined Brighton from South American side Argentinos Juniors for £7million in 2019 on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
      He agreed a 12-month contract extension in October, meaning his current deal expires in June 2025.

      Barcelona president Joan Laporta overheard revealing Lionel Messi transfer plan at LaLiga clash vs Getafe

      The result saw the Catalan giants’ lead at the top of LaLiga cut to 11 points with Real Madrid beating Cadiz.
      But more importantly, it could have revealed the grand designs Laporta has to bring Messi back to the Nou Camp this summer, with initial contact already made.
      The 60-year-old posed for photographs with Barca supporters.
      And as he was doing so, one said to him: “Messi to Barca.”

      Laporta replied with a smile and a wink and simply said: “Yes.”
      Now Barcelona fans are convinced the video circulating online is proof their club will try and re-sign Messi.
      One said: “It’s happening.”
      Another wrote: “He is coming home.”

      A third added a video of Thomas Tuchel celebrating wildly down the touchline.
      But others are less convinced – after Laporta suggested Messi would not leave in 2021.
      One replied: “This guy is really good at PR and cheated Messi before. I don’t think he is reliable.”
      And a final user commented: “Until I see Messi in Barca shirt, I don’t believe anything.”
      Messi, 35, left Barcelona in tears when his contract expired in 2021 but could not sign an extension due to the LaLiga club’s financial woes and Spanish employment law preventing a major wage cut.
      Instead he signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
      But with that deal running out at the end of this season, his future is still unclear.

      There has reportedly been offers from Inter Miami as well as Saudi Arabia to try and lure Messi to a new market.
      However, Barcelona fans would be delighted to see their former captain, record appearance maker and record goalscorer return to the club he first joined aged 13.
