Nottingham Forest have done some great business in the transfer market this summer.
Omari Hutchinson was added to the Forest ranks last weekend, with James McAtee and Arnaud Kalimuendo joining him at the City Ground shortly after.
Forest are about to make Douglas Luiz their latest recruit and it does mean that the squad will need to be streamlined before the transfer window closes.
One player has never truly established himself at Forest while Nuno Espirito Santo has been at the club and now he could be heading out of the club in the very near future.

Jota Silva will take drastic action to leave Forest
Sporting CP have been linked with Silva for some time, with Rui Borges keen to sign the player who was so brilliant for him when he managed him at Vitoria.
Now, according to Record, Silva is actually willing to sacrifice some of his wages in order to make the switch from Forest to the Portuguese giants.
Silva earns £55,000-a-week at Forest and the hope will be that Forest can get that off the wage bill this summer before the window closes in early September.
Silva set a record previously held by Jason Lee last season for most Forest appearances as a substitute and he managed just five starts in the Premier League.

Forest have already massively upgraded on Silva
It’s been quite the summer for Forest and nothing against Silva but it’s hard to see where he fits into the squad on Sunday against Crystal Palace.
Hutchinson will almost certainly come into the squad as an option out wide, with James McAtee also capable of making an impact from the flanks.
Silva hasn’t done anything drastically wrong during his time at Forest, he simply didn’t show enough quality to really oust Anthony Elanga or Callum Hudson-Odoi from the team last season.
A move back to Portugal with Sporting CP does feel like the best thing for Silva and hopefully, a deal can be struck that all parties agree on in the near future.
