Head coach Steve Cooper is keen to ensure Nottingham Forest have the necessary strength in depth for their return to the Premier League.
Six new faces have been added so far this summer, with Taiwo Awoniyi, Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone, Moussa Niakhate, Omar Richards and Neco Williams all putting pen to paper. And more will follow as Cooper puts his stamp on the squad which he wants to hold its own in the top-flight.
Midfield remains an area to be addressed, especially as Ryan Yates faces a race to be fit for the season opener against Newcastle United after suffering a knee injury. And adding a left wing-back, as well as strengthening the Reds’ attacking resources are also on the cards.
