Nottingham Forest’s first-team will face Olympiacos on Thursday evening in their final pre-season clash. Their preparations do not appear to have gone entirely to plan for Nuno Espirito Santo, beating both Chesterfield and Millwall but being held to a draw by Sunderland and Villareal.
Forest have been busy in the summer transfer window so far, and the injection of fresh talent will be keen to hit the ground running at the City Ground. They will face Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, before taking on Southampton and then Wolves.

Espirito Santo will be keen to integrate new signing Jota Silva, also from Portugal, into his starting eleven as soon as possible. The winger has joined the club from Vitoria de Guimaraes in a deal worth £5.9million, with a further £5.1m potentially set to be paid through add-ons.
Nikola Milenkovic has also joined the club from Fiorentina to inject quality and experience into the Forest backline. Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel and midfielders Marko Stamenic and Elliott Anderson have also penned long-term deals with Forest as they look to guide the club up the table and set their sights on a top-half finish.
