Appiah Times Ahead For Town? Monday, 5th Jul 2021 16:04
TWTD understands Town are keen to sign AlmerÃa winger Arvin Appiah this summer.
The 20-year-old joined Spanish second division side from Nottingham Forest in September 2019 for £8 million, signing a five-year deal, fending off other interested parties including Manchester United.
However, the former England U16, U17, U18 and U19 international has been unable to making an impact since moving to Spain.
Having made 21 appearances for AlmerÃa in his first season, scoring once - in addition to four games for their B side - he featured in just one league game in 2020/21 and in February was sent out on loan to another second division side, Lugo.
Born in Amsterdam, Appiah moved to Nottingham when he was six and came through the ranks at the City Ground before making a scoring senior debut as a sub in a 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat to Burton Albion in October 2018.
Appiah, who plays primarily on the right but also on the left or as a central striker, went on to make only three starts and a further four games from the bench for Forest before his big money move to Spain.
Given his lack of involvement in 2020/21 and his loan departure towards the end of the season, a move away from AlmerÃa either permanently or on another loan looks likely this summer.
Like their move for former loanee Bersant Celina, Town’s interest in Appiah illustrates the level of ambition the Blues have under their new ownership and manager Paul Cook.

Would be massively ambitious given he still has 3 years on his contract ! Maybe they think we can lift his value up again, and you can bet that our financial dealings are going to be watertight in terms of options etc. so why not. If PC thinks he can add value then go to it !
Haha. Ridiculous. If I remember correctly Dos Santos was £8 million when we had him on loan (pointless reference). Surely we can't afford these guys. Celina and Appiah are the dream, but Nsiala and Donacien are the reality or am I living in the past.
Great to be linked with these type of players, but I'd personally like to see permanent deals. No more than two loans - with one in already. You would think this type of player, and several others are likely to be loans?
Cook must be like a wide eyed smiling kid in a sweet shop at the moment with all these options and this kind of player sounds like a decent option if we can snag him. Appiah at Ipswich? We would be!
Jas0999. I do get ur point on loans. But with them being season long loans they would be, in effect, our players. And if we succeed in getting promotion we nay be in a position to keep them. Thi k theres a difference in the qualiry of the loans wed be bringing in now, than we have in the past, too
They paid £8m for him!!! 😳 I would assume as poor as he's been they'll want a big chunk back. If it's a loan then given the fee I assume he's on pretty big wages and they'll want a large chunk of that. If we can get him cheap fine, but he doesn't have a record that screams breaking the bank on a fee or wages.
Also how many games have he played? Whoever sanctioned that spend on a kid with more sub appearances than starts and less than 10 in total I assume has been given the old Spanish archer.
