Nottingham Forest’s return to pre-season training means all eyes are now firmly on the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Head coach Steve Cooper has been clear about making the most of the “opportunity” in front of the Reds as they aim to build on last season’s successful survival mission. And with little more than a month to go before the team’s opening fixture against Arsenal on August 12, the hard work has already started.
There is the core of a good squad already in place, with the likes of Brennan Johnson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Danilo and Taiwo Awoniyi having shown they can cut it in the top-flight. Nevertheless, Cooper will hope to have some new signings to pick from by the time the trip to the Emirates comes around.
