What happened
Nottingham Forest are working on a deal to bring Celta Vigo left-back Javi Rueda to the City Ground, with talks ongoing between the two clubs. In a separate move, defender Axel Disasi has left Forest to join Crystal Palace on a loan deal, easing Forest's squad congestion. The Rueda pursuit would add competition at full-back for Forest as they balance domestic and European commitments.
Chance analysis
Forest are juggling multiple windows at once: out goes Disasi on loan to Palace, freeing wages and squad space, while in could come Javi Rueda from Celta Vigo, a 23-year-old left-back who would add depth and competition for the starting role. With European fixtures stacking up, trimming one centre-back while reinforcing at full-back points to a clear recruitment pattern. The dual-direction activity on deadline day underlines Forest's willingness to keep reshaping the squad on Nuno Espírito Santo's terms.
Forest lose centre-back cover but could gain a new left-back option, while Palace add defensive reinforcement on loan.
