Steve Cooper oversaw a number of last-minute signings for Nottingham Forest and approved a few departures on the club’s extremely busy deadline day at the City Ground.
The market slammed shut for the following five months, with the Reds being one of the busiest Premier League clubs. Cooper tried to bolster his team at the City Ground by utilizing every last second of the sales. Nottingham Forest additionally removed some of the extra hair from his side.
In fact, the East Midlands team had a busy market the entire summer as Cooper worked to maintain the Reds’ top-flight status. For the first time since 1998–1999, he guided Nottingham Forest to a 16th-place finish in the Premier League. However, they only had nine victories and 11 draws.
Nottingham Forest made a flurry of incoming signings throughout the transfer window and on deadline day in an effort to further protect their standing. Cooper took advantage of the market to expand their options, adding Anthony Elanga to the wing and Matt Turner to the net.
Some athletes said goodbye to the City Ground as the window closed, including Sam Surridge and Steve Cook. Here are all of Nottingham Forest’s inbound and outbound transfers from deadline day as well as every signing Cooper made this summer, keeping that in mind.
