Nottingham Forest facing summer of big transfer decisions as crunch stage of season approaches

Nottingham Forest are heading into a crunch stage of the season, with big games fast approaching on the horizon on two fronts.

When it comes to the summer, though, he’s going to have so many clubs after him. He’ll have his pick of where to go, and
