Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are hoping to kick on and avoid a repeat of the relegation scares that have clouded their two seasons since returning to the top flight.
Nottingham Forest have finished 16th and 17th since winning promotion and hopes are high a successful transfer window will help to establish the club within the safety of mid-table.
As such, Forest are looking upwards and hope to sign stars from two clubs who’ll compete in this season’s Champions League – Aston Villa and Arsenal.
Part one of their double deal has fallen into place, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano giving his signature ‘here we go’ confirmation to Forest’s move for Alex Moreno.
The left-back, 31, was signed by Unai Emery just 18 months ago in the winter window of 2023.
However, with Lucas Digne in situ and Ian Maatsen signed for £37.5m, Moreno is now surplus to requirements at Villa Park.
Taking to X, Romano revealed Forest have agreed a deal with Villa to sign the Spaniard on a season-long loan.
The loan will contain an option to buy and Forest have scheduled a medical on Wednesday morning for Moreno.
