Nottingham Forest have acted fast in the summer transfer window, bringing in five new additions for the 2024-25 season, but Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed the Reds could still make some more signings before deadline day.
Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham, the Forest boss said: “We have some players but the squad is not closed yet.
“We still have aspects to decide. We are working with players who came back from their loans, so we have to have a good look at them and make the right decisions for them.
“It was more important that we were able to keep our [best] players, so I’m really happy that we – as a club – are keeping our most important players.
“After the work of last season, I believe that this is what’s going to give us that improvement through to this season.”
On needing to sell players before that 30 June ‘profit and sustainability deadline’, Nuno insisted: “The club did well. We don’t have to worry about that issue any more.”
BBC Radio Nottingham’s Colin Fray believes supporters should not be worrying about another points deduction after Nuno’s comments.
“That is the first real public statement that we have had from Forest since 30 June,” he said on the Shut Up And Show More Football podcast.
“We have been talking about how there seems to be a confidence around the club that they have done enough and that it won’t be an issue this year like it was last year. Now we have it [confirmation] from Nuno himself.”
