Nottingham Forest’s recruitment has been excellent over the last couple of years.
Nottingham Forest have been focused on recruiting young talent who have plenty of room to grow and develop into top-end Premier League stars.
Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Murillo are notable examples and they will all earn a sizable profit for the club in the future.
In fact, Murillo has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent weeks, but Forest will be hopeful of retaining his signature.
Nuno Espirito Santo and his recruitment team are expected to continue the recruitment model this summer, and with that said, they’re now eyeing a really exciting Leicester City teenager.

Nottingham Forest eye Leicester City teenager Lorenz Hutchinson
Leicester City have suffered relegation to the Championship and will therefore be at risk of losing some of their prized assets both in the first team and at academy level.
That said, according to the Daily Mail, ‘highly-rated’ striker Lorenz Hutchinson is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest.
Forest are keeping close tabs on Hutchinson, who scored a whopping 41 goals last season with the under-18s.

The 17-year-old has impressed scouts, but Leicester are desperate to keep hold of him and are trying to tie him down to a professional contract.
Talks have been held, but as it stands, Hutchinson is yet to agree terms with the Foxes, leaving the door open for their East Midlands rivals.
If Forest are to convince Hutchinson to make the switch to the City Ground, they will likely have to offer him first-team football of some capacity.
Although he is yet to make his debut for Leicester’s first-team, they’re expected to involve him in the Championship next term.
Russell Martin is being eyed to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy and he will lean on the talented academy to get back up to the Premier League.
Leicester’s academy has been producing some really exciting talents over the last 12 months, including Jeremy Monga, who’s been playing regular Premier League football in recent weeks, aged just 15.
