Head coach Steve Cooper is pleased Nottingham Forest have been able to do plenty of transfer business early as they prepare for their Premier League return.
The Reds have had less build-up time than most of their top-flight rivals, having secured promotion right at the end of May. A lot of planning was already going on before then, however, based on the possibility of going up - and no time has been wasted since.
Forest have been busy in the transfer market, and there is more business still to be done as further reinforcements are targeted. But with six new faces through the door already, Cooper has made good progress in shaping his squad.
