Nottingham Forest took their tally of signings in the transfer window to a remarkable 16 with the capture of Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves for a fee that could reportedly rise to £40 million ($48 million) on Friday.
The England under-21 international impressed on loan at Championship side Sheffield United last season and has previously worked under Forest boss Steve Cooper in another loan spell at Swansea and in winning the under-17 World Cup in 2017. "Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves," the club said in a statement. "The attacking midfielder has signed a five-year-deal at The City Ground."
Nottingham Forest have confirmed the squad numbers for new signings Emmanuel Dennis, Remo Freuler and Cheikhou Kouyate after the trio completed their moves to the City Ground.
NOTTINGHAM, England: A first-half goal from Taiwo Awoniyi was enough to earn Nottingham Forest a 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday (Aug 14), their first victory of the new Premier League season as the City Ground played host to top-flight soccer for the first time since 1999.
West Ham United on Sunday, their first victory of the new Premier League season as the City Ground hosted top-flight soccer for the first time since 1999. Awoniyi scored Forest's first Premier League goal in 23 years in first half stoppage time and it proved to be the difference as both teams had goals disallowed by VAR and West Ham captain Declan Rice had a second-half penalty saved.
How Nottingham Forest, this storied old club, had waited for a moment like this, as they edged out West Ham to savour their first Premier League win in 23 years. As the public address announcer christened the turnstiles at the City Ground open an hour and a half before kick-off, his voice cracking a little as he welcomed Forest supporters back into this throbbing stadium for a top-flight game once more, it offered a reminder of the sense of occasion. An absorbing and fiercely-contested match only ramped up the electric atmosphere. Both teams saw goals disallowed and Declan Rice saw a poor second-half penalty saved by Dean Henderson as Taiwo Awoniyi’s first Premier League goal ultimately proved the difference. West Ham could count themselves unfortunate given they also twice hit the woodwork.
West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to fact Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
A heavy 4-1 defeat to Preston in mid-week compounded Huddersfield’s winless start to the Championship so far this season – and ahead of a clash with Stoke City on Saturday, the Terriers will surely be counting on their new signings for some much-needed inspiration.
