Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner expressed cautious optimism ahead of the closing of the transfer window this week, hopeful that new signings will strengthen his squad. Following Forest’s resilient 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield, Glasner acknowledged the need to reinforce his team to maintain competitive form.

The Austrian coach lamented a late equalizer by Liverpool’s Victor Munoz, which denied Forest a potentially significant victory. Despite the draw, Glasner praised his players for bouncing back after consecutive defeats to Leeds United. He noted that the transfer window could yield up to three new additions, contingent on decisions by club owner Evangelos Marinakis.

“We could definitely get one, potentially two, and probably three signings,” Glasner said, noting uncertainty about the final outcomes. “I have no idea what will happen, but I’m confident that we will find the right players. I will sleep when it is closed, and Wednesday evening I will have a pint and celebrate the transfer window.”

Nottingham Forest are reportedly in advanced discussions to acquire Daniel Munoz from Crystal Palace, although a potential deal for Everton teenager Harrison Armstrong has fallen through.

Midfielder James McAtee reflected on the mixed emotions following the draw at Anfield. “We don’t really know how to feel. To get a point is amazing, but the game was in our hands twice,” McAtee said. “There’s a bit of disappointment because we could have got the points, but we’re also happy with the performance.”

With the window set to close soon, Forest’s management and coaching staff will be focusing on finalizing reinforcements to improve the squad’s prospects as the season progresses.
