After a rollercoaster first season back in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest will approach the new campaign with plenty to be positive about.

Now we have asked Reds reporter Sarah Clapson for her views on some of the key questions within the survey. Here’s what she said…

Morelos transfer links

Nottingham Forest have been linked with a move for striker Alfredo Morelos but face competition from Everton, it is claimed.

The Colombian forward will leave Rangers this summer after spending six years at Ibrox following his arrival from Finnish outfit Helsinki in 2017. His 29 goals in Europe made him the club’s all-time top European goalscorer.

But his time in Scotland is coming to an end with his current deal at the Scottish giants expiring at the end of June. The 26-year-old will be able to sign for clubs as a free agent on July 1.
