Nottingham Forest are trying desperately to land some new players before the season gets underway in less than two weeks.
Forest face Brentford on the opening weekend of the season and so far, three players have arrived at the City Ground.
Dan Ndoye is the latest arrival at Forest. He checked in for around £37 million from Bologna on a five-year contract after winning the Coppa Italia last season.
Igor Jesus has signed for Forest from Botafogo and Jair Cunha has also been getting some minutes in pre-season after checking in from the same club.
Angus Gunn looks to be signing for Forest too and that would provide the club with a homegrown stopper ahead of their campaign in the UEFA Conference League.

Douglas Luiz talks will take place today
Forest are edging closer to the signing of Douglas Luiz from Juventus with further talks due to take place today between the parties.
Luiz has agreed personal terms over a move to Forest and now all that remains is to finalise a deal that Juve are satisfied with regarding their player.
According to Football Italia, talks are taking place today between Kia Joorabchin, Juventus and Forest to try and thrash out the final terms of the deal.

It’s believed that the Old Lady want to sell Luiz and won’t be entertaining a loan move for the midfielder who signed for £43 million from Aston Villa last year.
Edu will be pushing hard for Luiz
The new Global Head of Football at Forest has tried on two previous occasions to land Luiz and he won’t want to miss out on him for a third time.
Luiz could be a game-changing signing in the midfield engine room for Forest and hopefully, a deal can be struck in the coming days.
Nicolas Dominguez is currently injured at the moment and given that he might not be fit for the start of the campaign, and that sees Forest in the market for another midfielder.
Luiz played over 200 times for Aston Villa and getting a deal to sign him over the line would be money well spent and give Forest some real bite in their engine room.
