It wouldn't be hyperbole to say that, so far, this summer has been one of Nottingham Forest's most memorable for some time.
Nuno Espirito-Santo's side haven't done anything of much note on the pitch, but there has been plenty happening off of it.
For example, the club were embroiled in a dispute with Tottenham Hotspur, which they appear to have won, over Morgan Gibbs-White; they've secured their place in the Europa League, and to top it off, they've made several exciting signings.

However, there is no sign of the club slowing down, as, on top of closing in on James McAtee, they appear keen on someone who'd be a perfect teammate for him.

After securing the services of Igor Jesus, Dan Ndoye and Jair Cunha, it appears that the next player on Forest's transfer list this summer is McAtee.
The Manchester City academy product impressed in spells last season, scoring seven goals in just 936 minutes of first-team action, and it looks like he'll be making his way to the City Ground for just over £20m, with personal terms already agreed.
While that would be enough business in one window for many other teams, the Tricky Trees aim to make at least one more addition before the window closes next month.

At least that is according to a recent report from Sky Sports, which claims Nottingham Forest are still very interested in Omari Hutchinson.
The report has revealed that, while the Tricky Trees saw their previous offer of £35m rejected, they are still discussing the possibility of another bid.
If the club do go back in for the Englishman, they'll have to stump up at least £40m, which is what he's valued by Ipswich Town.
It could be a complicated and costly transfer to get over the line, but Hutchinson's ability and potential make it one worth fighting for, especially as he'd be brilliant with McAtee.
Why Hutchinson would be a perfect teammate for McAtee
The first reason that Hutchinson would be an excellent teammate for McAtee at Forest is the simple fact that they're already teammates for England's U21.

The City gem has made 24 appearances for the team and captained them to glory at this summer's European Championships.
For his part, the Ipswich ace has made ten appearances for the junior side, in which he's produced six goal involvements and was a key part of the team's success this summer, starting five of the six games, including the final.
Not only does this mean the pair will already have a great relationship and understanding of one another's game prior to joining the Tricky Trees, but also that they can thrive in the same lineup together.
Another reason why the former Chelsea gem could end up being a perfect teammate for the Salford-born ace is his positional versatility.

The 21-year-old's ability to play on either wing and in the middle of the park should give him plenty of opportunities to start alongside McAtee, and therefore further develop their relationship.
However, it also means that Nuno can play the Redhill-born dynamo in place of the 22-year-old when he needs to rest and therefore reduce the risk of injury.

Finally, while the "explosive" Ipswich talent, as dubbed by one Arsenal content creator, was somewhat limited by the team he was playing in last season, he still managed to produce five goal involvements in 31 league games.
Moreover, he showed glimpses of something quite special at times, like that goal against Manchester United.
Ultimately, while it won't be cheap, Forest would be wise to sign Hutchinson alongside McAtee this summer, as the pair could develop a brilliant partnership at the City Ground.
