Oliver Glasner pleased as Nottingham Forest keep core and add five in quiet window | OneFootball

Oliver Glasner says he is satisfied with Nottingham Forest’s summer business, stressing the squad has been streamlined while adding character and quality.

According to Nottingham Post, Forest signed Xaver Schlager, Ousmane Diomande, Steven Benda, Liam Delap and Daniel Munoz, with Gustavo Sa immediately loaned to Olympiacos, owned by Evangelos Marinakis.

Deadline day passed quietly, with only loan exits for Zach Abbott to Southampton and Morato to West Ham United. Aside from selling Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, Forest kept their core together.

Forest sought a late midfielder, testing the water for Everton’s Harrison Armstrong and Liverpool’s Trey Nyoni. Right wing-back Munoz became the final addition after joining from Crystal Palace, and he could debut against Tottenham on Saturday, 3pm.

Glasner believes Munoz brings proven Premier League and World Cup pedigree with Colombia, plus reliability and mentality, though he needs time to settle. Limited pre-season minutes at Palace and a late arrival mean fitness must be built.

Exits have left centre-back light, but Glasner is unconcerned and views Nicolo Savona and Ryan Yates as options to drop in if required. He says the group comprises 21 outfield players, two per position and one extra in attack.
