Nottingham Forest’s head coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, emphasized the importance of early transfer business for the club at the start of the summer. Thanks to their diligent preparation, the Reds are now in a strong position as the transfer window deadline looms. With until August 30th to finalize Nuno’s squad, the team is focusing on bringing in key players, retaining crucial assets, and selling off those who do not fit into the manager’s plans.
While seven signings have already been made, including notable additions like Carlos Miguel and Nikola Milenkovic, Forest still have gaps to address, particularly in the attacking department. The club is looking to secure a striker to complement Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi, with Santiago Gimenez and Eddie Nketiah among the top targets. Negotiations are underway, but securing a deal promptly is crucial to avoid last-minute chaos on deadline day.
Looking ahead to the final days of the transfer window, Forest aims to maintain a strategic and calculated approach, steering clear of any rushed panic buys. Nuno has expressed confidence in the squad already in place and emphasized the importance of retaining current players amidst ongoing speculation about potential departures.
With last season’s penalty behind them, Forest is optimistic about avoiding any financial issues this term. The focus now is on offloading fringe players like Joe Worrall and Emmanuel Dennis to further streamline the squad. If successful, it would round off a successful and productive summer for the club and its ambitious head coach.
