Nottingham Forest returned to the Premier League following a 23-year absence and, judging by their summer shopping spree, they look determined to stay in the top flight after bringing in an English record 21 players in a single transfer window.
On Thursday's transfer deadline day, the newly promoted side completed deals for Wolverhampton Wanderers centre back Willy Boly, Blackpool winger Josh Bowler — who was loaned to Greek side Olympiakos — and defender Loic Bade on loan from Rennes.
The previous English record for the most signings in one transfer window was Crystal Palace's 17 in the summer of 2013, according to specialist website Transfermarkt.
