Nottingham Forest are going in search of more new players before the Premier League season gets underway in just under two weeks.
Anthony Elanga was sold to Newcastle this summer but since Forest managed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White to a new contract, things have started to get rolling.
Dan Ndoye joined Forest from Bologna for a fee worth £37 million and more players look set to follow him through the door at the City Ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo would like four new players at Forest before the season gets underway at home to Brentford.

Nottingham Forest rival Wolves for Juanlu Sanchez
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Forest are in the mix to sign the full-back this summer, with Wolves also in the race to get a deal for him over the line.
Sanchez is currently playing for Sevilla and has attracted interest from Napoli, with the Serie A club walking away in recent days from landing him.
The 21-year-old operates as a right-back, and he would provide very useful competition for Ola Aina should Forest manage to win this particular race.
Sanchez is valued at £18 million, and that represents a complete drop in the ocean for a player who scored five goals and claimed five assists in 35 appearances last season.

The bad news for Forest, however, is that Wolves do look to be leading the race at the moment and the club might have to get busy to sign the Spanish performer.
Forest need reinforcements at full-back
With Aina on the right and Neco Williams on the left, Forest do appear to be well set when it comes to starting options at right-back, and any player who does arrive will automatically be backup.
That will naturally make life hard when it comes to signing a new full-back, but it’s fair to say that Forest probably need two new options for those positions.
Sanchez has made four appearances for Spain during his career and that makes him something of a steal when it comes to his £18 million price tag.
Forest are very light in the full-back department and hopefully something can happen before a ball is kicked on the new campaign.
