Nottingham Forest are going to be extremely busy during the summer transfer window.
Forest have qualified for the UEFA Conference League next season, and as a result, more strength in depth will be required on the pitch.
Igor Jesus is signing for Forest from Botafogo. He will be joined by Jair Cunha and Cuiabano at the club shortly after the Club World Cup has finished.
It won’t just be on the pitch where reinforcements take place, however, with the Reds likely to try and bolster their backroom options too.

Nottingham Forest try and keep Wayne Hennessey at the club
Since returning to the Premier League, Hennessey has been part of the furniture on Trentside, and his stay could be extended.
After Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos departed last summer, Hennessey remained at the club to keep himself fit.
Now, according to The Athletic, it’s claimed that Hennessey will be offered a coaching role behind the scenes at the City Ground, with the club keen to keep him around.
During the 2022/23 campaign, Hennessey made nine appearances in all competitions for Forest, conceding 14 goals and keeping three clean sheets.

Hennessey will be ideal for young goalkeepers
Talented goalkeeper Aaron Bott has been around the first team this season, and he will have a perfect role model in Hennessey.
The stopper has been there and done it in football, and having his experience behind the scenes can only help the goalkeepers in place at Forest.
Hennessey has clearly made a positive impact on Espirito Santo and his staff, and this move looks like a positive one behind the scenes.
Official confirmation is still being finalised, but it does feel as though keeping someone who knows the club very well behind the scenes will be viewed as a positive step.
