"Global sporting director Edu oversaw 11 permanent senior signings, with Omari Hutchinson's 37.5m arrival from Ipswich breaking the club's transfer record. Additionally, Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko arrived on loan from Juventus and Arsenal respectively. But the spending was not without issues. Edu wanted younger signings with greater resale value while then-manager Nuno Espirito Santo was unhappy he did not get Adama Traore rather than Hutchinson."
"Of the 13 to arrive, only three have made more than 10 Premier League starts - Igor Jesus (14), Nicolo Savona (11) and Dan Ndoye (14). James McAtee, who arrived from Manchester City for close to 30m, has made one league start and winger Dilane Bakwa three. Another major signing, 26m striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, has already been dispatched to Frankfurt after nine league appearances, all as a substitute."
Nottingham Forest spent roughly £180m in the summer yet sit 17th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone, with Europa League progression uncertain. Sean Dyche expressed frustration after a 1-0 defeat in Braga left the club needing a play-off to reach the last 16. Eleven permanent senior signings were overseen by global sporting director Edu, including record signing Omari Hutchinson and loan arrivals Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Several signings have struggled for starts, there were disagreements over targets, and notable outgoings included Anthony Elanga and Danilo.
