Nottingham Forest's form may have tailed off at the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season, but they still qualified for the UEFA Europa League's league phase, and sought to bolster the squad with that in mind.
However, while the Garibaldis made a number of high-quality additions in the summer, arguably their best 'signing' was tying Morgan Gibbs-White down to a new contract amidst intense interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, and the attacking midfielder is sure to be vital this term.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side parted ways with Anthony Elanga, pocketing £55m from his sale to Newcastle United and replacing him with Dan Ndoye from Bologna, who has made a flying start to his career at the City Ground.
That being said, not all of the team's holes were addressed so swiftly and business seemed to stall for some time, but when the deadline passed, the Tricky Trees had welcomed a staggering 13 new arrivals including James McAtee from Man City, Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich Town and Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg.
