Nottingham Forest already planning to make big summer signing Nuno loves
Nottingham Forest are already planning for the summer transfer window and are looking to continue their recent history of good business under Evangelos Marinakis by adding a new face who Nuno Espirito Santo is a big fan of, according to a fresh report.
Forest chasing European football
A 7-0 thrashing of Brighton in their most recent Premier League outing continued Nottingham Forest’s fairytale season to date, with the Garibaldi looking almost nailed on to be playing European football next season.
As things stand, Nuno’s side are sitting in third place just three points behind Arsenal and only nine points off the lead of the Premier League. Perhaps more importantly for their season, they sit seven points clear of seventh placed Bournemouth, who occupy what could prove to be the final European qualification spot for next season.
The hefty win over the Seagulls also helped boost their goal difference, which had previously lagged well behind their competitors for a top four spot but is now in line with them.
There was the opportunity to do January business too had they wished to, with Forest one of the clubs interested in signing Wolves star Matheus Cunha in a potential club record deal before he penned a new contract at Molineux.
John Percy revealed that “Marinakis did make it clear that funds were available” but that Nuno opted to continue with his smaller squad rather than risk making a mistake in the winter market.
Should they qualify for Europe, however, that may have to change given the additional games that Forest will be required to play, which will be at least the eight group stage games and, in the minds of the Forest hierarchy, hopefully plenty more. With that in mind, Forest are already turning their attention to the summer transfer window, and now their plans have been laid bare.
