It is starting to look like a busy end to the transfer window for Edu Gaspar and Nottingham Forest.
Work on both incomings and outgoings is still going on behind the scenes as Monday’s deadline looms closer.
Nicolo Savona has been confirmed, and goalkeeper John Victor is set for a medical after a deal was agreed with Botafogo.
The Nottingham Forest board are looking to add quality to two other positions ahead of a busy schedule this season, including another attacker, and Lee Kang-In has been identified.

Nottingham Forest send £26m bid to PSG for Lee Kang-In
Nottingham Forest have been pushing to sign Dilane Bakwa as a winger for their squad, but reports coming out of France suggest they are not going in with tunnel vision.
According to L’Equipe, Forest have sent a €30 million (£26 million) bid to try and secure the services of the South Korean.
The 24-year-old, who has predominantly played out wide for PSG, is open to a move as he wants more minutes next season.

Interestingly, the report also claims that Nottingham Forest included €30 million (£26 million) worth of add-ons in the deal, taking the total package to €60 million (£52 million).
However, PSG are adamant the attacker is going nowhere, and have ‘not opened the door to negotiations.’
Forest reportedly still hold interest and according to the French outlet are ‘ready to raise their offer’ should the Parisian club change their mind.
Lee Kang-In would be Nottingham Forest’s record signing
If the fees discussed in the report are true, then Lee Kang-in would come in as Nottingham Forest’s record signing.
And he would smash the record by quite some amount.
Currently, Omari Hutchinson is the Garibaldis’ highest ever fee coming in at £37 million, which is a £15 million difference from the reported overall package for the PSG player.
Although a move does seem unlikely at this stage, if Nottingham Forest signed Lee Kang-In it would be a statement of intent for the coming season.
