Nuno raises Nottingham Forest transfer ‘concern’ despite closing on deals for two English stars

James Mcatee will sign from Manchester City and Omari Hutchinson could arrive from Ipswich, but Nuno wants new signing sessions in every Area Bar One before the transfer deadline

Downbeat Nuno Espirito Santo is concerned about the lack of transfer activities of Nottingham Forest – despite the fact that the club is closed after two of the most promising young people in England.

James Mcatee stands in line to complete a £ 30 million from Manchester City, while the negotiations will continue on a club record deal of approximately £ 38 million for Ipswich star Omari Hutchinson.

Forest has also added Ndoye for £ 34 million, as a replacement for Anthony Elanga, and has tied Ster -midfielder Morgan Gibbs White to a new contract.

But after a worrying preseason in which the team scored only once in seven friendly competitions, Nuno raised the alarm for their curtain booster at home to Brentford on Sunday afternoon and a first campaign in Europe for 30 years.

“I am worried,” he said. “We have a shortage of options, having solutions that the game needs is a great concern. The problems will be 'ifs' during the game, problems that occur, we need options and solutions.

“Things move, possibly, medical and let's take a look. We need players, but they will certainly not be available for Sunday. We are aware of the needs, the club knows.”

Striker Arnaud Kalimuendo could also arrive from Rennes, but Nuno believes that each area requires apart from the center-back reinforcement in the next fourteen days.

He added: “We need another option for the situation of the goalkeeper. On the full back of the line of defense, I think we're in order in the middle halves. Dominguez is injured, Danilo is not there, so we also need midfielders, on the wings. We have Igor in front [Jesus]Chris [Wood] And [Taiwo Awoniyi] But maybe another body would be good because of the amount of games. “

The Portuguese boss hoped to change the team's style after he qualified for Europe thanks to a dependence on counterattack last season. That was despite a slide in the late season in which a tired, shallow team won only two of their last eight games – strengthening his argument to get more bodies through the door.

He added: “dealing with doubts is the worst thing you can have in football. We have doubts, who is going to be here, when are they going to come? All these things make doubts. Not just for me but in the club.”

“I have already told the players exactly what I said publicly. Let's be stronger, let's make an extra effort, help the team. Those who are here are focused and ready to compete. What is the problem when something happens, that's the doubt.”
