With just under two months to go until the January transfer window, Nottingham Forest are already planning for their business.

Boss Steve Cooper brought in 13 new faces to the City Ground this summer, with outgoings undoubtedly the focus for January.

The Reds currently have 31 first-team members, with only 25 plus anyone aged 21 or under allowed to be included in the Premier League squad.

Defenders Neco Williams and Scott McKenna are two players who are already said to be at risk of leaving the club upon the opening of the window.

Williams and McKenna could leave Forest in January

According to The Telegraph, the pair could leave the City Ground in January for more consistent game time after falling down the pecking order under Cooper this season.

22-year-old Williams joined Forest for £17.5 million last summer, however, the arrivals of players such as Serge Aurier, Ola Aina and Gonzalo Montiel have seen his game time decrease.

As for McKenna, he’s out of contract at the end of the season, with the club in a contract dispute with the centre-back.

With the club no closer to an agreement with the 26-year-old, the club may want to cash in on him before the summer.

Outgoings needed before incomings at Forest

With the pair likely to feature at the EUROs for Wales and Scotland respectively, the defenders will be wanting consistent game time to bolster their chances of playing for their nation.

Williams has been crucial for Rob Page’s side in their qualification campaign, with McKenna being utilised more in recent games for Steve Clarke’s team.

Both have had their good games under Cooper at Forest, but the pair may be facing an exit from the club in the coming months.
