Goals have been a real struggle for Nottingham Forest so far this season, with their attack only mustering five goals across their eight Premier League matches in October and November.
It’s an issue that isn’t down to lack of trying and certainly isn’t down to a reluctance at board level to sign new players, with Forest making 23 additions to their senior squad in the most recent summer transfer window, a British record.
Two of those 23 new recruits were strikers; Taiwo Awoniyi, a former Liverpool academy talent who exploded for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga last term and was signed by Forest for a then club record £17 million, and Emmanuel Dennis, a dynamic, versatile forward and a name better known to English fans due to his impressive spell at Watford.
