Overview
- Glasner said this week he has “two or three additions in the pipeline” and expects activity in the final weeks of the transfer window to finish his squad.
- The club has publicly committed to keeping its starting players after Anderson's £116m move to Manchester City, a pledge Glasner says was made by ownership.
- Nottingham Forest have already signed Xaver Schlager and Ousmane Diomande this summer but have made few other confirmed incoming transfers.
- Media reports say Glasner is frustrated by the timing of deals and that his contract includes an exit clause, while the club is prioritising a centre-forward, a central midfielder and a right wing-back.
- Pre-season form has highlighted players such as James McAtee, Igor Jesus and Schlager but fitness issues and Ryan Yates’s expected absence mean the squad may need several weeks to reach peak readiness before league matches.
