Steve Cooper says Nottingham Forest’s summer signings have quickly settled in with their new teammates.
The Reds have been busy in the transfer market, bringing in six additions so far as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. Coupled with a number of departures - both when contracts expired at the end of last term and since the window opened - it has meant a significant overhaul of the dressing room.
Neco Williams and Omar Richards have put pen to paper in recent days. And before that, Taiwo Awoniyi, Dean Henderson, Giulian Biancone and Moussa Niakhate had been added to the ranks.

The latter quartet started Forest’s opening pre-season friendly against Coventry City on Friday night, having been part of the training camp in Spain. Cooper says all four have adapted well to their new environment.
“It wasn’t so much just about the game, it was more about the introduction of the week. Playing 45 minutes of the game was just a part of that process,” he told NottinghamshireLive.
“They have settled in really, really well. Dean and Taiwo travelled out with us, then Giulian and Moussa joined us as the week went on.
“It’s really nice to see how quickly they seem to have settled in. They are really good guys.
“We’ve done a lot of research on their characters anyway, so it’s been no surprise to see how quickly they have settled in. It gives us a good chance now to get back to Nottingham and to settle them in and around the city, with where they’re going to live, and keep that going.
“While all that is going on, we’re working every day, building our identity and building our ways. It’s great to have them.”
