Nottingham Forest still have some work to do when it comes to getting players out of the City Ground this summer.
Although extra emphasis will be placed on new players being signed, there is a clutch of players waiting to head to pastures new.
Lewis O’Brien looks set to head to Wrexham in the coming days, while Josh Bowler could join Reading in League One next season.
Anthony Elanga has signed for Newcastle in the high-profile departure of the summer so far, with Morgan Gibbs-White being courted by Tottenham too.
Other players will undoubtedly leave the football club in the coming weeks as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to streamline his squad.
Matt Turner deal to leave Nottingham Forest could be off
According to L’Equipe, Lyon have called in lawyers to try and get the deal to sign Turner for £8 million from Forest called off.
Evangelos Marinakis had agreed to sell Turner to Lyon when former owner John Textor was at the club, but now that he’s departed, the Ligue 1 outfit are trying to get out of it.
Turner spent last season on loan with Crystal Palace and collected an FA Cup winner’s medal after their huge win over Manchester City in the final.
Forest need to offload Turner
Gary Neville called Turner ‘useless’ when he was playing regularly at Forest, with the player’s distribution often in the spotlight.
In fairness, the American didn’t have the best of times at Forest, with the player never too far away from a calamitous error that cost the team a goal.
As a result, the time has come to move Turner on from the club and it would be great if Lyon do allow the deal to eventually go through.
If the French side do manage to be successful in their attempts to stop the deal from going through, it’s imperative that the Reds quickly find another club willing to take him on this summer.
