Nottingham Forest have already lost prospective signing number six, with a new contract expected to be inked. Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad will now return to England after their week in the Spanish sun. Forest’s pre-season journey to the continent was worthwhile, with three friendly games played over seven days. Evangelos Marinakis has worked hard in the transfer market to ensure Nuno has the resources he needs to avoid another relegation battle this season. Five new faces have already passed through the City Ground doors, but Forest show no signs of stopping down just yet. However, it has been announced that…
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Leeds United’s pursuit for additional incoming transfers. Daniel Farke has stated that Leeds are still looking for new players, something he hasn’t done in previous transfer windows at Elland Road. Leeds have made a considerably quicker start to the transfer season than they did a year ago, when they only signed Ethan Ampadu and Karl Darlow to replace a significant number of outgoings. This summer, however, they have already signed four new players, giving them ample time to adapt within the club before the season begins. And it’s fair to say that Joe…
Leeds United will have to pay upwards of £20 million to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Sammie Szmodics as they plan a late Ipswich Town hijack. On the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that Blackburn are demanding a premium amount to sell to a divisional rival following his performances last season. It comes as Ipswich advance in their negotiations to sign Szmodics, as they continue to bolster their squad in preparation for their return to the Premier League. The Ireland international scored 33 goals in 48 games last season, and his goals…
Liverpool clearly has a lot to improve on after their first game under Arne Slot. The Reds looked good for much of Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Real Betis, controlling the game with their passing. However, Liverpool’s attacking threat was somewhat missing, and there will undoubtedly be much more to come in this area. Nonetheless, it was great to finally see the new head coach on the sideline. Hopefully, Arne was able to enjoy the game and appreciate the situation a little. He certainly took use of the opportunity to get a good look at many of his Liverpool teammates. Overall,…
Leeds United will play a second friendly in Germany before their pre-season training camp finishes, and Daniel Farke’s comments following Wednesday’s Hannvoer 96 win made it clear what he hopes to see. If Leeds United concede three fewer goals or perform at their usual level at Loftus Road, they will finish the season with the Championship’s strongest defence. That is one of Daniel Farke’s main goals for next season: to build a promotion bid around an unassailable fortress at the back. It’s difficult to pinpoint apparent areas for development in a season with 90 points and only 43 goals conceded.…
Nottingham Forest will return home once their tour to Spain ends on Friday night. Nuno Espirito Santo endured his first defeat this summer, as Forest lost 1-0 to Elche. So far, Forest’s summer has been quite promising, with solid effort both on and off the pitch. Evangelos Marinakis was able to move rapidly during the summer transfer window, having already signed five players for Nuno. And the Portuguese manager has been able to pull some good performances out of his team. After returning from Spain on Friday night, one player at the club seemed to have been trying to impress…
Latest Nottingham Forest verdict: Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds downed 1-0 by Elche in pre-season friendly. Nuno Espirito Santo, Nottingham Forest’s head coach, will return to the UK with a lot to think about following their time in Spain. The Portuguese saw the previous week’s training camp as a crucial aspect of Liverpool’s preparations for the forthcoming Premier League season. He can be delighted with the effort put in and the progress his side has achieved, even if they ended their journey with their first defeat of the summer. Forest played three games at the Pinatar Arena during their stay in…
Liverpool are on track to break a new club record, with a £159 million pay-off nearing. While their strategy has occasionally frustrated Liverpool fans who wish to see more ambition in the transfer market, Fenway Sports Group is widely regarded as one of the best owners in the world of sport. They paid £300 million for a controlling stake in the club in 2010; 14 years later, if they sold the club tomorrow, they would recoup at least ten times that amount. The Premier League’s world-class local and international TV deals have increased broadcast revenue significantly. However, FSG-driven projects such…
Nottingham Forest’s pre-season vacation to Spain has ended, and the club has suffered its first defeat of the summer. Managers do not place a high value on results during the preseason, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s team had started well in their previous three games. However, Elche of La Liga 2 defeated Forest 1-0. Nuno continued to shake things up with no forwards in the encounter in Spain on Friday night, as neither Chris Wood nor Taiwo Awoniyi appeared. But there was some good news: Elliot Anderson passed his fitness tests after taking a severe hit against Millwall on Tuesday. ‘Terrific’…
