Nottingham Forest are on the move again in the transfer market.
The club has money to spend after saying goodbye to Anthony Elanga, who joined Newcastle United for £55 million.
While losing Elanga is a blow, it also gives Forest a chance to rebuild the attack with fresh faces.
Fans have been eager to see how the club will use this cash. So far, Forest have moved quickly.
They have already placed a bid to sign Mateus Xavier from Santos.
The Brazilian teenager is wanted by big clubs across Europe, including Borussia Dortmund and PSV.
But Forest believe they are ahead in that race.
Meanwhile, the club is also negotiating with PSV Eindhoven for Johan Bakayoko. The Belgian winger has plenty of admirers.
Reports say Forest are leading that race and may land him for around £22 million.
His contract is ending next summer, so PSV might cash in now.

While these deals are exciting, they are not the only ones on the table.
Forest are determined to add more proven experience to their squad.
They know the Premier League is tough, and they want a striker who has been there and done it.
Behind the scenes, club officials have been reaching out to Italy.
They want to bring in a forward who can help the team compete straight away.
He is a proven goal scorer with an impressive record both for club and country.
He has scored more than 50 goals for his national team and has shown he can find the net in Europe’s top competitions.
Mehdi Taremi to Nottingham Forest transfer news
According to Corriere dello Sport, shared by Sport Witness, the striker attracting all this attention is Mehdi Taremi.
Taremi is under contract with Inter Milan until 2027. But the Serie A champions are ready to let him go this summer. They want to trim their squad and free up funds for new arrivals.
Fulham and Besiktas are also keen. All three clubs have spoken to Inter about the price. Inter are asking for about £8.6 million but might accept less to get the deal done quickly.
Taremi’s future now depends on his decision. Will he join Forest and lead their attack next season? Or will Fulham or Besiktas persuade him to move elsewhere?
No matter where he ends up, this could be one of the most important deals of the summer window. Forest fans will be watching closely to see if their club can land the “ridiculous” striker who could light up the Premier League.
