Nottingham Forest’s goal was to end the January transfer window with a stronger squad than they had at the start of the month.
Head coach Steve Cooper stressed the need to recruit players who could slot straight into the starting XI. And he wanted to ensure sufficient strength in depth across the pitch to aid his team’s survival push.
The Reds have certainly brought in some good signings. Gustavo Scarpa and Danilo have already made positive impressions, while Chris Wood, Felipe, Jonjo Shelvey and Keylor Navas arrive at the City Ground with plenty of experience and proven quality.
