Preparations are stepping up as Nottingham Forest’s return to the Premier League draws nearer.
The Reds have made their first signing of the summer, with forward Taiwo Awoniyi making the move from Union Berlin for a club record fee at the weekend. That marks the start of what is set to be a busy - and important - transfer window for head coach Steve Cooper, with further incomings, as well as outgoings, expected.
Forest have also set out part of their pre-season plans, with a number of friendlies confirmed. So far, games against Coventry City, Burton Albion, Barnsley, Hertha Berlin and Union Berlin have been arranged.
