Why Michy Batshuayi’s Nottingham Forest deadline day transfer from Chelsea fell through

Nottingham Forest have had a busy transfer window as Steve Cooper built his squad for the Premier League this season.

The Reds have completed a total of 21 new signings since the end of last season, breaking the English record of the most new arrivals in a single transfer window. The last of those was a loan deal for Rennes defender Loic Bade.

Forest did work to bring one extra face to the club before the deadline, but a deal for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi fell through on the 11pm deadline. A deal had been agreed for the forward to join the club on a permanent deal, with it reported that Forest had agreed to pay off the remainder of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
