Nottingham Forest's next signing of the summer transfer window is said to be relying on the future of a former Reds player.
Steve Cooper has already signed four players ahead of the club's first season back in the Premier League in 23 years. Forward Taiwo Awoniyi and defender Giulian Biancone have both signed on permanent deals, while Dean Henderson joined on loan from Manchester United.
Left-sided centre-back Moussa Niakhate became Forest's fourth signing last night (July 6) as Cooper's side kick-off their pre-season schedule tomorrow against Coventry City. The City Ground's next arrival could be goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, but a deal is reportedly waiting on former Reds loanee Arijanet Muric.
