Manchester United and Tottenham are tracking Brugge winger Carlos Forbs, who has made a remarkable comeback after a difficult spell at Wolverhampton. The 22-year-old Portuguese talent has been a revelation, especially with his standout display against Inter, leading to interest from several top European clubs.
Forbs is enjoying a strong season in Belgium, having contributed three goals and six assists across all competitions.
His recent Champions League match against Inter was particularly noteworthy, as he delivered three assists to his teammates, showcasing his playmaking abilities.
This impressive form has put the spotlight back on Forbs, who had struggled for game time in England just a short while ago.
From failure at Wolverhampton to interest from European clubs
Previously, Forbs was on loan at Wolverhampton from Ajax, but he found it difficult to establish himself in the Premier League, making only ten league appearances before returning to Amsterdam.
His move to Brugge has turned his fortunes around significantly. Since joining the Belgian side, Forbs has featured in 62 matches, racking up 32 goal involvements.
Now, his progress has started to attract attention from clubs in Europe's elite leagues.
United and Tottenham face competition from Roma
One of the main contenders for Forbs' signature is Roma, who have sent scouts to monitor the winger's performances, including his recent outing against Inter.
The Italian club were left impressed by Forbs and are evaluating the feasibility of securing his services.
However, interest in the player isn't limited to Italy.
Manchester United and Tottenham are both keeping tabs on Forbs, while clubs from Spain and Germany were also trying to sign him last summer.
As of yet, there have been no concrete offers from the English clubs.
Brugge could cash in on another transfer
The Belgian club has been steadily attracting the attention of European giants with their strong performances in the Champions League.
Last summer, they sold Christos Tsolis to Arsenal, and now other teams are keen on striker Nicolo Tresoldi.
Forbs could well be the next player from Brugge who can command a significant transfer fee.
His current market value remains unspecified, but continued stellar performances are likely to enhance his potential price tag.
For Wolves, where Forbs never truly found his stride, his current development is particularly striking.
For both Manchester United and Tottenham, the forthcoming months may prove crucial in the pursuit of a potential transfer.
