The signings Nottingham Forest could make before the end of the transfer window

Nottingham Forest could look to bring a winger into the club ahead of the end of the transfer window.

Sabri Labouchi has found himself under a lot of pressure following a poor end to last season, which has continued into the new campaign.

The Reds have lost every Championship game so far this season, with their first goal of the campaign coming in the 2-1 defeat to Bristol City on Saturday.

Forest have made a lot of moves in the transfer window, with 12 new faces arriving at the City Ground this summer.

But will there be more new signings before the end of deadline day?

"Tiago Silva has gone, we still think that Cafu will come as part of a swap deal, we're still expecting that one to go through," said Nottingham Forest correspondent Sarah Clapson following the game against Bristol City.

"A defensive midfielder, Lamouchi said afterwards today that he thought they still could do with a winger because they are short on options there, but he didn't sound like he was particularly hopeful on that front.

"But it is only the international deadline on Monday, there is still a chance to do domestic deals beyond that, so if they decide that they want to bring a winger in, and I think it's an area of the pitch where they do need something, there is still the chance to do that.

"They look quite light there, Joe Lolley is obviously still struggling with his shin splints. They haven't got too many options, so I think that's probably a deal they could do with getting done

"Whether they manage that or not, we'll have to wait and see. Cafu would be the 13th player to come in, which is a lot, you then add a 14th and that's a heck of a lot of new signings."

The deadline to complete international deals is at 11pm on Monday, 5 October, while Forest will have 11 more days to complete any domestic deals.
