Steve Cooper, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, intends to add a few more players before the transfer deadline to cap off a “unique transfer window.”
Following a return to the Premier League, Forest added 18 summer signings to Cooper’s side.
Willy Boly, a defender, is anticipated to leave Wolves before the 11 p.m. deadline on Thursday.

Cooper remarked, “I believe (there will be new signings) and I hope so.
“At this time, there is no confirmation that can be made.
“Things are happening, and deadline day can be a bit of a rush, not just for us, for any team, but we are definitely trying to do a few things,” said the club.
We shall wait and see whether anything comes off or not, but we will try, that much is certain.
On Saturday, Forest welcomes Bournemouth in an effort to bounce back from back-to-back losses. On Wednesday night, Forest lost 6-0 at Manchester City, with Erling Haaland scoring his second consecutive hat-trick in the Premier League.
Cooper, though, asserts that any additional newcomers would be a product of summer planning rather than a response to recent outcomes.
“If it is, there won’t be many signings,” he said at a press conference.
“A lot has been said, and with good reason, about how many signings we have already made.
“There’s no doubt that this transfer window was special; I acknowledge that.
“But there are still a few things we would like to achieve, which are not a reaction to the previous few games or anything; rather, they are things we have been attempting to do for a while.
“It’s just that things sometimes take a little bit longer than you would want, but it’s nothing that’s just come up in the last day or so; it’s something that’s been going on for a little while now.”
