SO SAD;Chris Wood rejected Nuno Espirito Santo terms and conditions few minutes ago..

Nottingham Forest have made an approach to sign a new defender for Nuno Espirito Santo in the final weeks of the transfer window, it has emerged.

Nottingham Forest held in Premier League opener

It looked as though the Reds were going to get their 2024/25 Premier League campaign off to a perfect start when they took the lead against Bournemouth through 32-year-old striker Chris Wood midway through the first half, but they could not hold on and eventually had to settle for a point against the Cherries.

By far the better side in the first half, Forest faded late on in the game and that allowed Bournemouth to snatch a late equaliser courtesy of Antoine Semenyo’s effort four minutes from full-time, allowing the south coast side to leave the City Ground with a point.

However, the game was overshadowed by an injury to Forest midfielder Danilo, who collapsed just eight minutes into the new season and had to be stretchered off with a foot injury. After the game, Espirito Santo revealed: “It was a horrible moment for everybody, he has broken his ankle,”

“It’s serious, we are going to miss him, not only on the pitch. He is a wonderful boy. He is always smiling, always with joy, and we wish him the best.

“Everybody loves him so much. He is leaving hospital just now and he is going to be assessed tomorrow. It is serious but the good news he is stable. He’s speaking and aware, he just needs time.”

Though much of Forest’s transfer business has already been done this summer, they may now need to return to the market for a new midfielder. They are still on the hunt for defensive reinforcements too, and now they may have found their man.
