Nottingham Forest are on the brink of their second match in the 2024/25 Premier League season, having secured a point in their opener against Bournemouth.
The team led by Nuno Espirito Santo has been bustling with activity this summer, welcoming eight new players to the squad through the transfer window. Rumors are swirling about potential additional signings, including a deal to bring in striker Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal before the upcoming deadline.
However, Forest has also seen some players leave the club as part of their financial balancing act. Well-known figures from the world of sports have taken to social media to react to these departures, including James Maddison and Djed Spence.
One notable exit is that of Joe Worrall, a long-time player at Forest who has now made the move to Burnley in the Championship. Worrall bid farewell to his boyhood club in an emotional Instagram video, with messages of support pouring in from fellow players like Maddison and Stuart Broad.
After 14 years at Forest and 226 appearances under his belt, Worrall’s departure marks the end of an era for the centre-back. While fans and teammates alike express their appreciation for his contributions, Worrall looks ahead to new opportunities for regular first-team football.
