Nottingham Forest are going to be on the lookout for a number of players before the Premier League campaign gets underway in August.
Nikola Milenkovic is set for a medical at Forest tomorrow and he looks set to be the latest player announced as a Reds player.
There will be lots of links to new players this summer but Nuno Espirito Santo will likely be meticulous in his approach.
Not many players will be added, with quality over quantity likely to be the order of the day as far as Forest are concerned.
The Reds will undoubtedly miss out on a host of players too and now there is fierce interest in a player Forest were linked with last month.

Everton make bid for player wanted by Nottingham Forest
Wilfried Gnonto looks set to leave Leeds United this summer after they failed to return to the Premier League last term.
Archie Gray has already departed the football club and more big-name departures look to be on the ecards.
It was claimed last month that Forest liked the look of Gnonto but now Everton are showing an interest in the player.
According to the Daily Mail, Everton have revived their interest after missing out on the player last summer.
Last season Gnonto scored nine goals and claimed three assists but he couldn’t help Leeds overcome Southampton in the Championship play-off final.
Michael Dawson is a big fan of the winger and called him ‘unplayable’ whilst working on Sky Sports News last season.
Forest should move on from Gnonto
With Leeds wanting at least £25 million for the Italian performer and that wouldn’t make for great business acumen.
Forest do want a winger, with Espirito Santo suggesting as much after Saturday’s 3-0 win over Chesterfield.
However, there is a sense that perhaps there are better players out there who will cost a fraction of what Leeds want for Gnonto.
Forest have done some savvy business in the market so far and a significant change of tact has been evident so far.
Gnonto is only 20-years-old but his strong performances for Leeds have been all too irregular and perhaps the Reds are better off out of this one.
With Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga the only natural wingers in the squad, a new player is a necessity.
Gnonto doesn’t feel like the one for Forest though and perhaps they’d be wise to give Everton a free crack at this one.
