Nottingham Forest are now on the verge of playing their second game in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side have got a point on the board following their opening day draw against Bournemouth.

It has been a busy summer for Forest who have already seen eight players arrive at the club in the transfer window.

There could even be more players on the way with Forest closing in on a deal to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah ahead of next week’s deadline.

However, there have also been player exits with the Reds having offloaded players earlier in the summer to balance the books.

And the latest of those departures has now seen a number of famous faces share their reactions on social media.

There is still time for more players to leave the club with summer signing Jota Silva potentially heading off to Olympiacos on loan for the season.

There have been some significant sales from the City Ground with Orel Mangala and Moussa Niakhate departing to battle Forest’s PSR scares.

However, it is the departure of the ‘amazing‘ Joe Worrall which has received a big reaction from fellow footballers and sportsmen.

Worrall has departed the City Ground where he has now gone on to make the move to Championship outfit Burnley.

“Nottingham is home. It always will be home,” Worrall said during his farewell video posted on Instagram.

And the video saw the likes of James Maddison and Djed Spence share their thoughts on the player’s departure from Forest.

“Brilliant mate, well spoken. Achieved what so many dream of at your boyhood club,” said Tottenham Hotspur’s Maddison.

Whilst Spence simply responded with a clapping emoji.

What Stuart Broad replied to Joe Worrall’s Forest farewell

Worrall has been at Forest since a child with 14 years now under his belt at Forest where he has been able to rack up 226 appearances.

However, the centre-back has also spent plenty of time away from the club on loan with various other sides.

After only racking up 440 minutes in the Premier League last season, clearly a change was needed for the 27-year-old to play more regular first team action.

But his time at Forest will not be forgotten with Stuart Broad also sharing his gratitude for the centre-back’s service.

“The end. Goosebumps. What a guy,” said Broad.
