Boss Steve Cooper says he is still shaping his Nottingham Forest squad into his “vision” as he targets further signings before the summer window close in a month.
A rebuilding job was always going to be necessary this summer, and the Reds have done a lot of work in the transfer market in advance of their opening Premier League game next Saturday. However, there are still areas which need strengthening as they look to compete in the top-flight.
Midfielder Orel Mangala will become Forest’s 12th new addition when his arrival from Stuttgart is confirmed. But the transfer window remains open until September 1, and by the end of it Cooper aims to have sufficient strength in depth to have selection dilemmas all over the pitch.
