Nottingham Forest could be set to cause a "problem" for Tottenham if they sensationally qualify for the Champions League this season.
That is the view of finance expert Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider Forest are one of the teams threatening to challenge for European football on a regular basis.
Forest have flirted with the relegation zone in the previous two campaigns, but things appear to be coming together at the City Ground this season.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side currently sit third in the Premier League table, five points above fifth-place Newcastle United after 19 games.
Forest recently announced Lina Souloukou will begin work on 5 January after she has recently been appointed as their new CEO, while former Arsenal chief Edu is also expected to join Evangelos Marinakis’s multi-club network.
Nottingham Forest have great momentum after on-field turnaround
Borson insisted Forest could cause issues moving forward for the likes of Tottenham, who currently sit 11th in the table following their poor run of form.
"The manager is working out amazingly well," Borson told Football Insider.
"They have obviously got Edu coming in. I don't think it's been confirmed, but he's obviously going there.
"Souloukou was the former Olympiakos CEO, so she obviously knows Marinakis already.
"It looks like a club that's absolutely motoring right now. They have got great momentum. They have been great on the field and are third in the Premier League.
"That's going to impact the rest of the league and some of the traditionally more successful clubs because Forest are coming after their pie.
"It's going to be a problem for teams like Spurs if they find on a regular basis teams like Forest, Newcastle and Aston Villa are getting Champions League, and are also doing something with it.
"There may well be other teams joining that group like Everton, so there are challenges for the teams that have traditionally had it much easier."
