Nottingham Forest have made a start on shaping their squad for the upcoming Premier League season with the publication of their retained list.
Three senior players have been released, in Tobias Figueiredo, Gaetan Bong and Carl Jenkinson, while the club are in talks with Lewis Grabban about a new deal. Loanees Max Lowe (Sheffield United), Djed Spence (Middlesbrough), James Garner (Manchester United), Philip Zinckernagel (Watford) and Keinan Davis (Aston Villa) have all returned to their parent clubs.
The Reds have until 11pm on Thursday, September 1 to get their transfer business done. And the announcement of which players have been let go leaves a clearer indication of the work which needs to be done.
