“Scout reveals he was watching rising star for Nottingham Forest – Mahrez comparisons will hurt. Anis Hadj Moussa is a name that you’re like to hear about a lot in the coming months and years. And that might be something Nottingham Forest don’t want to happen.”

Hadj Moussa to Forest: scouting quote, not a live deal
The situation
There is no live negotiation here, just a scouting story doing the rounds. Anis Hadj Moussa, the Algeria forward at Feyenoord, has been linked with Nottingham Forest through a quote from a Forest scout, relayed via Africa Foot, saying he was watched years ago. That is the entire basis of the story: no talks, no bid, no indication Feyenoord would sell.
The reporting
Sport Witness was carrying it by 5 November, repeating the Africa Foot material rather than breaking anything new. No trusted reporter has backed this move, and every outlet running with it is a tabloid or an aggregator passing along the same scouting quote. Nobody has added a fee, a timeline or any sense of genuine Forest interest beyond that one remark.
The outlook
On the evidence available this sits at the unlikely end of things. For it to go anywhere, Forest would need to turn old scouting admiration into an actual approach, and Feyenoord would need to show willingness to sell a player who joined only in July 2024 and has 42 months left on his contract once the January window opens. Right now neither condition is close to being met, which makes this read as speculation rather than a move taking shape.
The context
Hadj Moussa is valued at €47m, though no club has been reported making an offer at any figure.
What happens next
Until either surfaces, this stays firmly in rumour territory.
