The latest Nottingham Forest transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
No club has traded more dramatically than Forest: Elliot Anderson's club-record £116m sale to Manchester City bankrolled the summer, and this week's £9m sale of Taiwo Awoniyi to Coventry pushed the sales column past £130m.
The reinvestment has been targeted rather than lavish — Ousmane Diomande at £34m the flagship, Xaver Schlager's experience on a free — and Forest are in the race for Liam Delap. The Nottingham Forest transfer news below tracks all of it, updated daily.
