Latest Nottingham Forest news as Steve Cooper’s Reds look ahead to 2023/24 Premier League season
The release of Nottingham Forest’s 2023/24 Premier League fixtures this week means anticipation for the upcoming season can really step up a notch.
The countdown is on for the Reds’ return to action. And with the summer transfer window now open, Forest have some big weeks ahead as they look to get their business done.
Planning for the new term can begin in earnest. With that in mind, here’s our round-up of the latest goings-on Trentside.
Terrific Taiwo
Striker Taiwo Awoniyi continues to be busy in the off-season. Following his goodwill gestures back in his homeland, he is now preparing to represent Nigeria against Sierra Leone on Sunday.
And the Reds ace has been speaking to local media as part of the preparations. One of the questions he was asked concerned his switch to the City Ground last summer.
It was put to Awoniyi that there might have been some concerns he had made the wrong move when he struggled for form early on in the campaign. His goals during the run-in soon put paid to that argument, and the man himself says he didn’t listen to the doubters.
“The truth is everyone has their opinion,” he told Brila FM (via All Nigeria Soccer). “Now everyone is saying, wow, I made a good season.
“If I had stayed at my former club no one would have known how important I would have been for Nottingham Forest. My advice for everyone is not to look into people’s ideas and just keep on believing in them and keep on praying for them regardless of what move they make.”
