Nuno Espirito Santo wanted Nottingham Forest to emerge from the summer transfer window with a squad containing sufficient “options and solutions”.
Goalkeepers The summer was always likely to bring about a reshuffle between the posts for the Reds. Perhaps the one surprise is Matt Turner got the green light to join Crystal Palace on loan on deadline day despite Forest not signing two keepers during the window. Neco Williams will have something to say about that, however. And in Moreira, Forest look to have brought in a defender with plenty of potential.
Full-backs on the books: Neco Williams, Ola Aina, Eric da Silva Moreira, Harry Toffolo, Alex Moreno, Omar Richards . Join our new WhatsApp community!

Midfielders Even with Danilo facing a few months on the sidelines with a broken ankle, the Reds are well stocked in the centre of the pitch. So much so, there is a question mark over how Ward-Prowse fits in. Anderson has made himself almost undroppable with his performances so far. His versatility is also particularly useful.
