Nottingham Forest have been linked with Hull City’s Max Clark and La Liga goalkeeper Roberto, but is that only the beginning?

Aitor Karanka looks set for another couple of hectic months in the transfer window.

The Nottingham Forest boss brought ten new players to the City Ground in the winter, including Jack Colback, Ben Watson and Lee Tomlin (below). And the Nottingham Post reports that Karanka hopes to bring in as many as ten further additions in the summer transfer window, too.

Forest’s squad has changed dramatically since the former Middlesbrough boss replaced Mark Warburton in the dugout at the turn of the year and, although they are set for a disappointing mid-table finish, a number of their recent recruits have made a positive impression.

The likes of Tomlin, Colback and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon have earned impressive reviews from supporters, although all three could depart this summer when their loan spells come to an end.

So Karanka will not only have to bring in new signings but also think about replacing those set to leave, including Everton-owned Kieran Dowell, although a deal to sign Tobias Figueiredo (below) permanently from Sporting Lisbon looks to be in the bag already.

Nottingham Forest have been linked with a number of potential new signings already, with the Hull Daily Mail stating on Wednesday that they have made contact with Hull City’s out of contract left-back Max Clarke.

Greek website sdna.gr also reported that the East Midland giants want veteran Espanyol goalkeeper Roberto, possibly as a replacement for Watford’s Pantilimon.
