Whatever happens in the final few weeks of this season, it will be a big summer transfer window ahead for Nottingham Forest.
Head coach Steve Cooper has previously spoken about wanting “to build a team of permanent players who help you grow” as he looks to put his stamp on the squad. Whether or not the Reds manage to achieve promotion this year, the Welshman is keen to have a longer-term plan in place. He has said: “You want to try to build a consistency and a togetherness within the group. To do that, you need a group of players to be together over a length of time.”
Forest do have a number of players on the books who still have plenty of time to run on their contracts. For others, decisions will soon need to be made on their futures as the summer approaches.
