Revealed: How much Nottingham Forest's squad is worth

Before football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, Nottingham Forest were battling for promotion to the Premier League.

Sabri Lamouchi's side are currently in fifth place, 10 points off West Bromwich Albion in second with nine games to go.

The outbreak of Covid-19, however, has forced the League to postpone all-but-one of the club's remaining nine matches with the only scheduled game the May 2 clash with Stoke City.

Forest are well placed, though, to secure a play-off berth at the very least once play does resume.

That's because the Reds, under the stewardship of Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis, have recruited wisely in the past couple of seasons.

They have utilised the foreign and domestic markets well, bringing in top talent like Samba Sow and Tiago Silva for modest sums.

Compared to their rivals they have spent a relatively small amount, getting the best out of existing talent like Lewis Grabban and Joe Lolley.

So how much is Forest's squad worth?

According to website Transfermarkt, the Reds' combined worth is £60m.

They are seventh in a list compared to their rivals in the Championship, with Fulham leading the way at a massive £128m following their summer 2018 splurge.
