Steve Cooper’s £4m signing has Nottingham Forest exit sealed after playing zero minutes since joining in 2022

Nottingham Forest’s 2024–25 campaign is off to a fantastic start as they have already scored five points.

Nuno Espirito Santo is given the chance to assess the openin while the international break lingers in the background.

This follows a hectic transfer window over the previous three months that saw a lot of players coming and going from the City Ground.

Still, agreements are being completed in some windows that did not close last Friday as they did in England.

Additionally, there is only one confirmed instance from another location where Forest ultimately parted ways with a player Steve Cooper signed in 2022.

On Friday, though, it was revealed that Hwang had finally left Forest permanently to join Alanyaspor in Turkey.

The 32-year-old played eight games in Turkey during the second half of the previous season, contributing a goal and an assist.

Last season, Hwang also played for Norwich City in the Championship, where he scored three goals in seventeen appearances.

However, his stint at the City Ground is now over as he was unable to log a single minute for the Reds.

This summer, Forest might have benefited from adding another striker.

Chris Wood has put two goals in his first three league games this season, which is a promising start for him.

The striker from New Zealand believed he had scored the game-winning goal against Wolves over the weekend, but it was called offside.

This is precisely the start to the campaign that he, Nuno, and the supporters would have dreamed of after scoring 15 the last time around.

If they are unable to sign any of their desired strikers, a lot will depend on Wood’s ability to stay healthy this season.

After Eddie Nketiah ultimately decided to transfer to Crystal Palace, Santiago Gimenez turned down the chance to sign with Forest.

This season, an awful amount is riding on Wood’s shoulders.
