Enough is enough: Nottingham Forest shouldn’t think twice about recalling on-loan teenage starlet
Why Nottingham Forest should recall Jayden Richardson from loan
Nottingham Forest have been sailing through smoothly in the Championship following a wonderful start to the campaign under Sabri Lamouchi and with the January transfer window knocking on the door, the fans at the City Ground already have plenty to look forward to in the coming months.
The Reds currently sit 4th in the Championship standings after winning 9 and drawing 5 of their 17 league fixtures so far and the promotion noise at the City Ground is only going to get louder if the two-time European Cup winners continue to rack up such impressive results.
Forest had been dubbed as one of the promotion dark-horses in the first month of the campaign following a string of positive results and with more than a quarter of the season already done and dusted, the Reds are certainly showing signs of living up to the expectations.
Lamouchi, who took over the reins from Martin O’Neill back in the summer, made several alterations to the big squad that he inherited at the City Ground, with the Frenchman completing low-cost deals for some little-known players from across the continent.
Fast-forwarding the sequence of events to the end of November, the manager has every reason to be happy with the kind of impact made by the summer recruits, with almost all his gambles paying off handsomely in what has been a bright start to the season for the Reds.
Despite that, however, he might have to make some key decisions regarding some of the club’s loan stars when the transfer window reopens in January, and the situation involving academy prospect Jayden Richardson is something that needs to be sorted out at the earliest.
Born in Nottingham, the 19-year-old right-back rose through the youth ranks of Forest and put pen to paper on professional terms at the City Ground back in April earlier in the year before being named as a part of the first-team squad for the 2019-20 campaign.
Things looked to be heading in the right direction for the teenager when he was named on the bench against West Brom on the opening day of the season but he soon found himself farmed out on loan to Exeter City in League Two.
Indeed, joining the Grecians on a season-long loan deal made perfect sense for Jayden Richardson, with Matt Taylor’s side expected to challenge for promotion in the fourth-tier.
Forest, on the other hand, would have expected him to progress by leaps and bounds and gain some valuable professional exposure at St. James Park, with a view to integrating him into their plans moving forward.
The Championship clubs often use the loan system to good effect by sending youngsters away on loan to other Football League clubs in the lower divisions in a bid to enhance their development and Jayden Richardson was tipped to make a big impact at Exeter City.
With that in mind, however, the 19-year-old’s loan stint at Exeter has been a massive disappointment, at least as far as Forest are concerned, given that he has barely featured on a regular basis for the Grecians in League Two.
Richardson has only started thrice in the league for Exeter so far this term, playing the full ninety minutes only on a single occasion, which came in a 3-1 defeat against Scunthorpe United back in October.
The highly-rated teenager has found himself relegated to bench duty more often than not and a new low in his loan spell has seen him get named in Exeter City’s U-23 side for the game against Doncaster Rovers, which is not something that Forest would have expected when they agreed to send Richardson out on loan in the summer.
The 19-year-old was very much on the brink of a first-team breakthrough at the City Ground prior to the start of the campaign and he probably would have found some regular minutes had he stayed put for a bit longer, with summer recruit from Arsenal, Carl Jenkinson, suffering an injury.
Held in high regard by the coaching staff at Forest, Jayden Richardson now faces the risk of falling behind his development schedule if his lack of playtime at Exeter City is anything to go by.
Moreover, another disturbing fact is that the 19-year-old has been used as a right-winger in his loan spell. While playing regularly should be of paramount importance for a player of his age, featuring in unfamiliar positions isn’t going to do a world of good to his development.
To that end, it is clear that Richardson’s loan spell at Exeter hasn’t really worked out in favour of his development and it would make perfect sense for Forest to recall him in January. Of course, that is subject to the condition whether they did insert a recall clause in his loan agreement in the first place.
Verdict
The ideal stance for Forest would be to bring him back to the City Ground and then loan him out to another club in League One or League Two where he would play regularly.
The teenager needs first-team action to make a gradual transition from the youth ranks to senior football and the lack of game time at Exeter City is only going to stall his development.
Conversely, the Reds can also look at him as a realistic option at right-back heading into the second half of the campaign, with Tendayi Darikwa and Jenkinson both injured.

Matty Cash has excelled in an unfamiliar right-back role so far but Lamouchi has shown trust in the club’s academy prospects and Jayden Richardson is someone who deserves a crack of the whip to prove his credentials.
Either way, recalling him from his loan spell should be the right call as far as Nottingham Forest are concerned.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece.

However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
