Nottingham Forest Set to Appoint Ex-Crystal Palace Boss Oliver Glasner
Nottingham Forest have decided to part ways with Vitor Pereira as their manager and will appoint ex-Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner as his replacement, GIVEMESPORT can reveal.
Forest were in a relegation battle in the 2025/26 season but after sacking all of Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, and Sean Dyche during the season, they avoided the drop and reached the Europa League semi-finals under the Portuguese boss.
Talks over a new contract were underway earlier in the summer, but a decision has now been made to move on from Pereira, with club owner Evangelos Marinakis agreeing a shock move to bring in Glasner to the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest to Appoint Oliver Glasner
GIVEMESPORT sources can exclusively reveal that Forest held an option to terminate Pereira’s contract until June 30th, and they sent him and his representatives an email at 23:58 on June 30th to confirm their decision.
Glasner left Crystal Palace at the end of the season having guided them to the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League titles over the previous 12 months, with his contract expiring. He had been in line to take over at AC Milan, before a change of leadership saw them opt for Ruben Amorim instead.
Pereira had already planned a pre-season in Portugal, while he was involved in meetings over summer transfer plans as recently as yesterday (June 30th).
Glasner is now expected to take over at the City Ground, with talks having been held behind the scenes with owner Marinakis, who is ‘extremely ambitious’ and wants to compete for trophies.
The Austrian will be given funds to strengthen the squad, with a £116m deal for Elliot Anderson to join Man City already agreed.
Glasner a Big Appointment for Forest
When Glasner departed Crystal Palace the expectation was that he would be joining a top-level European club, having been attracting interest from the likes of Milan, Man Utd and Chelsea in recent times.
So Forest will see it as a major coup that they are able to attract a manager of his calibre to the club, especially after what they would consider to be a disappointing season last time around.
Palace fans are likely to be furious with Glasner, however, after tensions between the two clubs following a complaint by Forest which led to the south London side missing out on a place in the Europa League last season. Palace went on to win the Conference League, however, and will be in the Europa League next season, while Forest are not in Europe at all.
Marinakis has seen what Glasner can do, turning Palace into a side that regularly compete for silverware under him, and will be hoping for more of the same.

Tottenham Want to Sign Eli Kroupi Junior After Fernandes and Tonali
Tottenham Hotspur have been the busiest team in the summer transfer window so far and they do not show any sign of slowing down.
Spurs have already confirmed four completed deals, with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and defenders Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson arriving on free transfers. They also spent big on signing Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton in a £52million deal.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has set out his stall to revitalise the ailing squad that he inherited at the end of March and the Spurs owners have backed their new boss with signings he has asked for.
Midfield duo set to arrive in north London
A fifth signing is imminent, with Tottenham having agreed a deal with West Ham to sign Mateus Fernandes after winning the race with Manchester United. Fernandes will become Spurs’ new record signing in a deal worth £85million.
Spurs are still in talks with Newcastle United over a deal to sign Sandro Tonali, with an initial £80million bid rejected by the Magpies. Should they manage to negotiate a fee, it is likely the Italian would then break the transfer record once more.
Tonali’s arrival would add major strength to the midfield department, which has already been boosted by Fernandes’ signing. And having bolstered his defence and goalkeeping department, all that would seemingly remain for De Zerbi would be to upgrade his forward line.
There are a number of players who will be like new signings for the Italian, with Dejan Kulusevski having not featured at all last season and Mohammed Kudus yet to play under De Zerbi.
But there are likely to be new figures arriving in that department too. Richarlison could leave if the right offer comes in for him, while the likes of Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert will remain sidelined for the start of the campaign, which leaves Spurs a little light.
Spurs turn attention to forward signing
GIVEMESPORT understands Tottenham will look at the market for a new No.9 this summer and Eli Kroupi Junior has emerged as a potential candidate to arrive in north London, according to Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe.
The Bournemouth striker broke the Premier League record last season for the number of goals scored by a teenager in a season, taking the mantel from Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler before him.

In his first season in the English top flight, the now 20-year-old notched 13 goals in 33 appearances, although nine of those goals came in the 21 starts he was handed by then boss Andoni Iraola.
Kroupi has plenty of admirers, with Arsenal and Chelsea both also understood to be keen on signing him this summer, but as Spurs attentions turn to their forward line, the Bournemouth star is in their sights, although they will have to spend big once more to sign him, with the Cherries demanding between £80million and £100million to sell him this summer.
The forward has been described as a ‘phenomenon’ and likened in style to Kylian Mbappe by Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Arsenal Eye West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville as Morgan Rogers Price Tag Soars
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move to sign Morgan Rogers in the summer transfer window, but due to his hefty price tag, they might want to consider exploring alternatives.
Rogers is a player who is attracting plenty of interest in the summer, which is no surprise after his impressive performances with Villa.
The England international has kicked on massively since his move to Villa Park from Middlesbrough, quickly becoming a key figure for the Midlands club and England.
Due to his performance levels and the fact that the market is heavily inflated at the moment, Villa are reportedly demanding in the region of £130m for Rogers to depart.
Whether this is out of reach for Arsenal remains to be seen, but they do appear to have serious interest in the forward.

Arsenal Eyeing Alternative Target
According to reports, an alternative target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window is West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville.
The Dutch international, who has been representing the Netherlands at the World Cup, is believed to be valued in the region of £50m following West Ham’s relegation.
Summerville would, of course, be significantly cheaper than Rogers, so it would certainly make more sense financially.
The West Ham winger, described as ‘elite’, is destined to return to the Premier League during the summer transfer window, and there is no doubt there will be clubs lining up to secure his signature in the coming weeks and months.

Summerville Better Signing Than Rogers
Taking everything into account, Summerville would be a better signing than Rogers for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch international is naturally a left-sided attacker, which is the position that Arsenal desperately need to strengthen.
The Gunners currently have Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli for the left-sided position, but neither of them have nailed down a starting role in the side.
Rogers is more of a number 10 who is capable of playing on the left-hand side.
Arsenal will need to bring in a player who specialises in playing off the left, and considering he costs £80m more than Rogers, it would be a smarter move to secure the West Ham winger’s signature this summer.

Liverpool Eyeing Summer Move for Wolves Midfielder Mateus Mane
Liverpool could now look to reignite their interest in a young talent as they aim to reinforce Andoni Iraola’s squad in the summer transfer window.
If Liverpool want their new manager to be successful, then there’s no doubt they need to bring in reinforcements over the coming weeks.
It is, however, incredibly important that their recruitment improves after Arne Slot struggled following a busy summer transfer window last year.
Some of their new additions have struggled to hit the ground running, which is forcing the Reds back into the market.
Liverpool also need to replace some of their outgoing stars, with Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah all leaving on free transfers.
It could be another busy window for the Merseyside club.

Liverpool Eyeing Young Talent
According to reports, Liverpool are one of the sides once again showing an interest in signing Wolves midfielder Mateus Mane in the summer transfer window.
The Reds are yet to submit an official approach, while Wolves value him in the region of £35m.
Liverpool face strong competition for his signature, including from three Premier League clubs, while Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are also keen on the young talent.
Wolves are determined to keep hold of Mane, described as ‘special’, heading into the new season, despite them being relegated from the Premier League last term.
Whether the stance changes if a big offer arrives on the table remains to be seen.

Mane Tipped to Become One of the Best
Mane enjoyed a phenomenal breakout season with Wolves despite them being relegated from the Premier League.
Former Wolves manager Vitor Pereira was full of praise for the 18-year-old during his time at the club, tipping him to become “one of the best players not just at our club, but in this league.”
Mane took on a lot of responsibility last season, and it takes a big personality to be able to shine in a side struggling so much in the Premier League.
As it stands, he looks set to be dropping down a league to the Championship. At the age of 18, there’s certainly no shame in plying your trade in the second tier.
