Nottingham Forest has kicked off their 2024/25 campaign in spectacular fashion, already securing five points in their first few games. With the international break providing a moment for reflection, Nuno Espirito Santo can assess their progress so far.
The busy transfer window saw numerous ins and outs at the City Ground, with some deals still in the works despite the deadline passing. One significant departure was the sale of South Korean forward Ui-jo Hwang, whom Steve Cooper signed in 2022 but never featured for the Reds.
Hwang, who had struggled to make an impact in England, has now moved to Alanyaspor in Turkey after several loan spells across Europe. His departure leaves Forest relying heavily on striker Chris Wood, who has already scored twice this season.
Wood’s form will be crucial as the club missed out on other striker targets like Santiago Gimenez and Eddie Nketiah. With a lot riding on Wood’s shoulders, Forest will be hoping for his continued success in front of goal.
