Nottingham Forest likely to be busy this summer
Nottingham Forest is facing the likelihood of parting ways with two players signed by Steve Cooper last summer as the club prepares for what promises to be a bustling transfer window at the City Ground.
Having secured their place in the Premier League for a third consecutive season, it's imperative for the team to progress. While financial fair play regulations demand player sales, there will also be funds available for new acquisitions. Nuno Espirito Santo's challenge lies in bolstering the squad with quality additions while retaining key players.
A process of streamlining is expected, necessitating the departure of some individuals. Recent reports from top Forest-supporting journalist Daniel Taylor suggest that two goalkeepers signed last summer, Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos, are likely to exit the club.
In an interview with The Athletic, Taylor stated, "Turner and Vlachodimos both want to play, so they will almost certainly leave." Despite Forest's positive activity in the previous summer transfer window, the signings of these two goalkeepers have proven to be disappointing.
Turner, Vlachodimos likely to depart this summer
While Vlachodimos showed potential, his performances in the Premier League failed to make a significant impact. Turner, on the other hand, has been plagued by errors, leading to him losing his starting position to Matz Sels in January.
With Sels proving himself a reliable option, Forest's priority now lies in securing a suitable replacement should Turner and Vlachodimos depart. Given Sels' age, attracting a younger goalkeeper to provide competition would be ideal for the club.
As a Premier League outfit, having a dependable goalkeeper is paramount, and it's essential for Espirito Santo to address this area effectively in the upcoming transfer window.
