Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper admits “a lot more” signings are still needed as he puts together a squad ready for the Premier League.
Taiwo Awoniyi, Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone and Moussa Niakhate have been added to the Reds’ ranks so far. And Neco Williams and Omar Richards are believed to be close to joining.
With Forest having lost loanees Djed Spence, James Garner, Philip Zinckernagel, Keinan Davis and Max Lowe at the end of last season, Cooper says significant changes were always inevitable. However, he is keen to ensure the team spirit which was such a key part of promotion success remains.
