- Nottingham Forest fans all saying the same thing after West Ham win The mood on Trentside is already jubilant and another signing has added to a successful weekend for the Reds. The 30-year-old midfielder joins from Serie A side Atalanta, where he spent six-and-a-half seasons and made 260 appearances.

The City Ground had not hosted a top-flight match since 1999 and Taiwo Awoniyi ensured it was a winning homecoming for Forest.

“We played really well in the first half and maybe we should have created more. “The first 20 minutes frustrated me, I thought we were really poor. “We knew it was a very important day.

We deserved to win the game today and it was important we did.” “There were two things today, the occasion, the event of the first home game back in the Premier League, so important to so many people and we were never going to treat it as a normal game, it was more than that,” he said.

The Swiss captain and midfielder Remo Freuler is Nottingham Forest's 15th summer signing while Everton have rejected Chelsea's £40m bid for Anthony Gordon.

Tottenham have confirmed a five-year contract with Destiny Udogie, the 19-year-old Udinese defender, but although he will have a medical this week, he will join Spurs from next summer. We are still in that process of becoming that team and squad we want to be. “There’s been a real rationale behind it and it’s been a real necessity.

Nottingham Forest have made Remo Freuler their 15th summer signing and boss Steve Cooper made no apologies for the influx of players.

We have a couple of weeks left of the window so there will definitely be ins and outs." "There's been a real rationale behind it and it's been a real necessity. We have had no choice.

The City Ground had not hosted a top-flight match since 1999 and Taiwo Awoniyi ensured it was a winning homecoming for Forest.

It was 100mph stuff and West Ham were again a lick of paint from an equaliser as Benrahma was denied by the woodwork, when his 20-yard free-kick hit the underside of the crossbar and into the grateful hands of Henderson. But Forest rediscovered their verve and soon suffered their own VAR misfortune as they had a goal disallowed. West Ham were millimetres from levelling within 25 seconds of the restart as Fornals sent a curling 20-yard effort crashing into the underside of the crossbar, with Tomas Soucek seeing his header from the rebound saved by Henderson. The Hammers were in danger of being overran, but were able to get a foothold in the game and thought they had taken the lead in the 42nd minute, only for VAR to intervene. Luckily Ben Johnson diverted it on to the knee of Awoniyi and the ball ended up in the bottom corner. The City Ground had not hosted a top-flight match since 1999 and Taiwo Awoniyi ensured it was a winning homecoming for Forest with his first-half goal.

The two-time European champions recorded a first Premier League victory of the 21st century by beating West Ham 1-0 on Sunday.

All know about the two times Forest conquered Europe and the two decades they were shut out of England’s elite league. He did, and in a season that started with them seemingly plotting a course to League One. And then there are the long-suffering locals and the younger fans for whom a 23-year exile meant their football watching had been confined to the lower leagues, for whom the Championship lost its charm. The focus on Forest has been on the quantity of signings; more excellence and it may switch to the quality. And if Cloughisms abound, there may not be a club in English football as defined by one man as Forest. As the City Ground staged Premier League football for the first time since 1999, their greatest living manager was present. Now they have won a Premier League game this season before Manchester United or Liverpool, West Ham or Leicester. Forest supporters had a cardboard cutout of Cooper in the stands.

Nottingham Forest have made a £17m bid to sign Djibril Sow, with Steve Cooper looking to bring in a 15th senior player this summer.

Indeed, Forest have gone all out this summer upon their return to the Premier League, and signing a player like Sow could be huge in the club’s chances of remaining in the top-flight following their promotion back into the big time, and Cooper could do with sealing a deal for the midfielder soon. With their first points on the board, Cooper is now seemingly looking to make more signings to complete the squad ahead of Forest’s first Premier League season in 23 years, with Sow seemingly the club’s next target as a central midfielder looks set to be the next arrival in Nottingham. A regular for the European champions, Forest have identified Sow as a potential signing to add to the 14 other additions Cooper has made this summer, with the English coach this weekend securing his first Premier League win for the club in a 1-0 victory at the City Ground against West Ham.

Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini has wished Remo Freuler well following his summer move to Nottingham Forest.

He ends a six-year association with Atalanta which saw him make 259 appearances for the club. If he’s happy with this I can do anything other than thank him for what he did and wish him the best.” He delivered kind words about Freuler and wishes him well at the City Ground.

We didn’t deserve the result we got that was for sure but we did in the end. “In terms of the game, I was so happy with our attitude and confidence going into the first half, the atmosphere was amazing anyway but that raised it even more. “There were two things today, the occasion, the event of the first home game back in the Premier League, so important to so many people and we were never going to treat it as a normal game, it was more than that,” he said.
