Feyenoord coach Priske not certain about retaining Forest target Gimenez

Nottingham Forest are in discussions with Feyenoord regarding the acquisition of the Mexico striker.

Before the Rotterdam derby, Priske was asked whether he expects Gimenez to still play football with Feyenoord in September.

"I have no idea," Priske admitted honestly. "I hope he stays with us. But as long as the transfer market is open, it is naive to expect everyone to stay on board. Football is football, you never know."

Still, Priske is counting down the days. September 2 cannot come soon enough for the coach. In addition to Gimenez, Lutsharel Geertruida and reserve goalkeeper Justin Bijlow are also attracting foreign interest.

"But the closer we get to the deadline, the better we can see the skeleton of the team," Priske also knows. “Santiago is fully motivated to play here and do his best.”
