Nottingham Forest are among the Premier League clubs to have been keeping a watchful eye on a promising young player, according to a new report.
The Reds were very busy during the summer transfer window, and that has helped them make a strong start to the new Premier League campaign, as they are unbeaten in the opening three games, and they will be looking to extend that when they face Liverpool on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest transfer news
The Premier League side brought in 11 players over the course of the summer, as they try to have a squad that is capable of not only avoiding relegation but pushing toward mid-table security. But Forest’s summer could have been even busier, as they did have their eye on other additions.
| Nottingham Forest’s summer signings | |
|---|---|
| Elliot Anderson | Newcastle |
| Morato | Benfica |
| Nikola Milenkovic | Fiorentina |
| Ramon Sosa | CA Talleres |
| David Carmo | FC Porto |
| Jota Silva | Vit. Guimaraes |
| Marko Stamenic | Red Star |
| Calos Miguel | Corinthians |
| Eric da Silva Moreira | FC St. Pauli |
| James Ward-Prowse | West Ham |
| Alex Moreno | Aston Villa |
One player Forest were said to be keen on was Flamengo striker Pedro, seeing a bid rejected for the player late in the window. The Reds may have now dodged a bullet with that addition, as Pedro has suffered an ACL rupture during a training session on international duty with Brazil. He is now expected to be out of action for many months, and while Forest were keen on signing him, it may be one that they are glad they didn’t get over the line.
Meanwhile, it was reported last week that Nottingham Forest are planning new contract talks with Morgan Gibbs-White. Talks between the club and the player are expected to “progress” during the season, and if a new deal was agreed, it would take him to the top of the club’s pay scale.
