Forest sanctioned the £47m sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham, ending the forward’s 14-year association with the club, but moved to strengthen their forward line with the former Liverpool striker Origi and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.

On Friday afternoon Forest confirmed the arrival of Hudson-Odoi for a cut-price £5m from Chelsea, the signing of Nicolás Domínguez from Bologna as part of a swap deal with Remo Freuler and the loan signing of full-back Nuno Tavares from Arsenal. The Greece goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos in also expected to move from Benfica to the City Ground to provide competition for Matt Turner.

Hudson-Odoi’s move reunites him with the Forest head coach, Steve Cooper, whom he worked with when part of the England team that won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017. “It’s a new chapter for me,” the 22-year-old said. “I want to prove myself again. I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me, and I obviously know the manager well, so it’s nice to be here and see familiar faces around.”

Forest have tracked Sangaré, an Ivory Coast international, for the past 18 months with defensive midfield seen as a priority position to address. The fee for the 25-year-old would eclipse the initial £25m Forest paid Wolves for Morgan Gibbs-White last summer.

Forest visit Chelsea on Saturday. Forest have also signed Anthony Elanga, Turner, Ola Aina, Andrey Santos, Gonzalo Montiel and Murillo this summer as well as making Chris Wood’s loan move from Newcastle permanent in a £15m deal.

Meanwhile Bournemouth are closing on a double loan signing to bolster their front line, with Patson Daka and Luis Sinisterra poised to join from Leicester and Leeds respectively. Bournemouth, who rejected a bid for Dominic Solanke from West Ham earlier this window, have sanctioned Kieffer Moore’s loan exit to Millwall.

Leicester midfielder Boubakary Soumaré has joined Sevilla on a loan deal until the end of the season.
