Nottingham forest’s 2022/23 season signings: Chelsea has been the big spender of the football world this transfer window, but there is one club even more shopping sick than the Blues and it is Nottingham Forest has brought no fewer than 29 players to Nottingham since last summer.
Jesse Lingard, Serge Aurier, Dean Henderson, Cheikhou Kouyaté Willy Boly, Renan Lodi, one famous player after another joined Nottingham Forest’s squad last summer. Among other things, the club put thirty million on the table for Morgan Gibbs-White, twenty million for Taiwo Awoniyi and twenty million for Neco Williams.
In total, the current number thirteen of the Premier League acquired 23 players last summer, for a total of more than one hundred and fifty million euros. Of course, that also means that trainer Steve Cooper had to make hard choices.

Of all summer purchases, nine players played less than three league games. Six players did not play at all for Nottingham Forest and three players have already (temporarily) left the club. That didn’t stop The Tricky Trees from opening another can of players this winter.
Last month, the club brought in another six players. Keylor Navas was hired from PSG, Chris Wood from Newcastle United and Jonjo Shelvey also came over from that club. Forest paid twenty million euros to Palmeiras for Danilo, brought in another Brazilian with Gustavo Scarpa and also took over Felipe from Atlético Madrid.
This means that Nottingham Forest has attracted 29 players this season for more than one hundred and eighty million euros. Until the new year, the purchases resulted in little sporting success and the club was mainly below the relegation line. Forest has now found its way up and has climbed to thirteenth place.
