Five Championship signings you may have missed this summer

Lewis Grabban to Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest haven’t finished in the top-six in the Championship since the 2010-11 season. But that could be set to change this year. The Tricky Trees have made a number of high-profile additions during the close season, although it’s the signing of Lewis Grabban which could make the difference.

The 30-year-old forward bagged 20 goals in 34 appearances in the division for Sunderland and Aston Villa last season. He’ll be the main man at the City Ground as Aitor Karanka bids for his second promotion from the second-tier.

Marc McNulty to Reading

Part of Reading’s problem last season was scoring goals. The Royals managed to hit the back of the net just 48 times in 46 matches. So the pressure is on Marc McNulty following his move from Coventry City.

The 25-year-old lit up League Two last season with the Sky Blues and is now tasked with making the step up to the second-tier. He should get decent service at the Madejski Stadium. But it could take time to adapt to the step-up in quality required at this level.

Erhun Oztumer to Bolton Wanderers

If you follow lower-league football, odds are you’ve heard of Bolton Wanderers’ new signing Erhun Oztumer. The 5ft 3in magician has dazzled for Walsall in League One since 2016 with his mix of pace, trickery and precision in front of goal.

The Trotters have often lacked a player who can make something happen in the middle of the park. Oztumer solves that problem, and the Coral News Team are tipping him to become one of the division’s standout players this season.
