With the transfer window underway we take a look back at the most recent news and rumours surrounding Nottingham Forest as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to strengthen his side for the 2024/2025 campaign.
The Reds board are determined to increase the club’s Premier League status and build on the last two seasons as relegation strugglers – to do that they will need to get spending, and staying on the right side of PSR.
Striker leaves
Swedish forward Julian Larsson has left Forest.
The 23-year-old has departed the City Ground to join Burton Albion, having failed to make the breakthrough with the Reds, who he joined in 2020 from Allsvenskan side AIK.
He scored a total of 16 goals in 43 Premier League 2 appearances for Forest, but did not make a first-team appearance in the Premier League.
Joe Worrall heading for exit
Forest are said to have opened talks over a transfer for Joe Worrall.
Defender Worrall’s future at the City Ground has been uncertain since he was loaned to Besiktas in February. The deal included an option for the Turkish club to make the transfer permanent in the summer.
Teamtalk report the Reds have opened talks with Sheffield United over a deal for the centre-back, having been a long-term target for the Blades, who were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season.

Carlos Miguel lowdown
Forest are expected to complete the signing of towering goalkeeper Carlos Miguel imminently as they address their goalkeeping department and seek to add more depth following the departure of Wayne Hennessey, although it leaves the future of Matt Turner in doubt.
Miguel, of Corinthians in his native Brazil, had a release clause inserted into his deal which Forest are understood to have triggered. The keeper will set the Reds back less than £4m once the move has been confirmed and will kickstart another interesting summer of recruitment at the City Ground.
The 25-year-old was born in Rio De Janeiro and began playing football as a teenager for Flamengo, before he joined Internacional. Loan moves to clubs in the lower divisions of the Brazilian football pyramid followed for Miguel and he spent time at both Santa Cruz and Boa Esporte – the latter was where he was granted a breakthrough in senior football.
