- Nottingham Forest edge closer to '£34m' transfer windfall
Nottingham Forest may soon have the chance to undo a huge transfer mistake at the City Ground.
Evangelos Marinakis signed off on multiple key departures during the summer, including Elliot Anderson's £116million move to Manchester City.

He was joined out the exit doors by Taiwo Awoniyi, Dilane Bakwa and Morato, to name just a few, but with the majority leaving on loan.
Oliver Glasner, if still in charge next summer, will welcome multiple new faces into the squad, and will be faced with plenty of key dcisions.
One player who has divided opinion at the City Ground is 22-year-old Omari Hutchinson, who joined AC Milan on loan during the summer.
His first few games in Italy have been extremely rocky, but the young winger is beginning to show some bright signs for the seven-time Champions League winners.

Earlier this month, Hutchinson starred in AC Milan's 4-0 win over RB Salzburg in the Europa League, grabbing an assist for the opener.
After two substitute appearances, Ruben Amorim threw him back into the lineup for the 2-0 win over Udinese on Sunday, 25 October.
Christian Pulisic opened the scoring after just six minutes, with Hutchinson finally grabbing his first goal in AC Milan colours to secure all three points.
He poked home from inside the six-yard area, but it was so much more than a simple tap-in for the on-loan winger.
It was proof that he absolutely deserves to be playing in Serie A, and the first sign of evidence that AC Milan could trigger the €40million (£34m) buy option in his contract.

Sources: Omari Hutchinson has no way back at Nottingham Forest after decision made Sources: Nottingham Forest face 'real possibility' of £42.5m clause being triggered Would Nottingham Forest actually make a profit?
With AC Milan also paying a small loan fee, the Reds might actually be able to make a small profit on Hutchinson after paying £37.5m in 2025.
And it will be very important to get him off the books after an extremely disappointing 2025-26 campaign at the City Ground.
After showing plenty of promise at Ipswich Town, the 22-year-old, he notched just two goal contributions in 42 games across all competitions.
Forest may soon be able to put that major transfer mistake behind them, but they'll be hoping for more from the winger during his loan spell.
