August 04, 2025 DOUGLAS LUIZ SCOUTING REPORT | THE PERFECT SIGNING FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Nottingham Forest have been strongly linked with Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz by the Italian media (but not the English one).

August 02, 2025 ISSUES TO TACKLE AS FOREST CAN'T SCORE | YUNUS MUSAH VERDICT | MATT TURNER SHUNNED BY LYON
Nottingham Forest were beaten 1-0 by Birmingham City in a pre-season friendly in honour of Trevor Francis, the first £1m footballer, scorer of the winning goal in the 1979 European Cup final and a legend of both clubs. Forest have now failed to score in four out of five games this summer as we look at what went wrong against the Championship side.
