Summary

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner confirmed the club is working on acquiring two new signings as the transfer window continues.

While discussions are ongoing, Glasner stated they do not expect to finalize any new arrivals before their upcoming match against Leeds United in the Carabao Cup, where they will seek to recover from a prior setback after losing to Leeds in their last outing.

What they're saying

"
Oliver Glasner said after victory in Nottingham Forest's friendly against Brest last Sunday that they were working on "two or three" deals. Forest are looking at quality over quantity and moving with precision in the window takes more time, especially in their pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, with the Sweden international now likely to stay in north London. Leeds boss Daniel Farke is the third-longest serving Premier League manager after moving to Elland Road in July 2023 and last season's 14th place gives the German the foundation for success this time around.
