Less than a month out from the start of the new Premier League campaign, Nottingham Forest are slowly but surely strengthening.
So far five new signings have been confirmed, the latest of them Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina. The 26-year-old central defender slots straight into Nuno Espirito Santo ‘s squad, who have started on-field preparations already.
After a first outing of pre-season, the manager highlighted his desire for more deals before the window slams shut. “We have some (signings) and the squad is not closed yet. We still have aspects to decide,” the boss confirmed.
So with all of that said, Nottinghamshire Live provides a round-up of Forest’s latest rumoured activity in the market…
With Nuno potentially on the hunt for added firepower, links to Chuba Akpom resurfaced in recent days.
The club were unable to strike a deal with Ajax for the 28-year-old in January, though an extended period between now and this summer’s deadline day offers more leeway for negotiations to take place. Regardless of any accord being reached, the player himself has one key condition to a Dutch exit, to which he has expressed opennes
“I don’t know if I’ll be here next week or at the end of the transfer window, but every day I come to the club I train as if I’m going to stay here this season. I don’t think I can sit on the bench for another year as a second striker. If I get more involved in the competitions this year, I would like to stay here. If not, then it might be time to look further. We will see.”
