Nottingham Forest endured a frustrating Championship season and Aitor Karanka knows a lot of work needs to be done if they are to challenge for promotion in 12 months' time.

The former Boro boss has big plans at the City Ground but has struggled to find the right formula in his first few months in charge.

However, Forest will be confident they have the right man in charge given his previous success and Karanka is sure to be backed this summer and will be planning significant changes.

The Reds need new additions all over the pitch and that in turn could see a lot of players leave the East Midlands outfit.

Here we look at two potential additions that would excite fans and also one departure that will please Forest supporters...

Forest have been linked with the Peterborough winger and he would seriously enhance their squad.

Capable of beating players and technically sound, Edwards would add some much-needed creativity to a Forest side that have struggled going forward in recent months.

At 23-years old, he has plenty of time to improve and could be a vital player in years to come.

One of the priorities for Forest this summer needs to be a goalkeeper joining the club permanently and Foderingham could be a realistic option.

Allan McGregor has just rejoined Rangers which means the ex-Swindon stopper is sure to be available.

Good with his feet and a fine shot-stopper, Foderingham is certainly a capable player for a Championship side.

With a lot of players expected to join Forest, departures are inevitable and one man who could've played his last game for the club is Michael Mancienne.

The former Chelsea defender has struggled to make the team since Karanka took over and with defenders sure to join in the summer game time will be hard to come by.

Therefore, a move would suit all parties and he won't really be missed at Forest.
