Nottingham Forest’s best Premier League signings of all time ...Middle East

Nottingham Forest have enjoyed two standout eras of transfer business in the Premier League, separated by almost three decades. The first was Frank Clark's swashbuckling rebuild in the mid-1990s and the ambitious recruitment drive that followed their return to the top flight in 2022.

From bargain buys who became club-defining figures to expensive investments that generated extraordinary returns, Forest have produced some outstanding pieces of transfer business across their Premier League history.

It has not been all rosy for the club, as we have covered Nottingham Forest's worst signings in another piece, but in this article Football Whispers runs down five of Forest's best Premier League signings of all time.

Stan Collymore takes us back to the first of Forest's great Premier League transfer eras.

Frank Clark won the race for the striker in 1993, paying Southend an initial £2.25m for a player who had scored 15 goals in 30 appearances for the Shrimpers.

Collymore immediately justified the investment, scoring 19 goals in 28 league appearances as Forest secured an immediate return to the top flight. 

He then produced one of the finest individual seasons in the club's Premier League history, scoring 22 league goals in 1994-95 as Forest finished third and qualified for the UEFA Cup.

That remains Forest's highest Premier League finish, while Collymore's goalscoring form earned him England recognition and a place in the PFA Team of the Year.

Forest's timing was almost as good as their scouting, as two years after buying him for £2.25m, they sold Collymore to Liverpool for a British-record £8.5m, giving the club a huge return on their investment.

Few Forest signings have combined immediate impact, elite-level production and resale value quite so effectively.
