'Club has given me so much' - emotional Toffolo leaves Forest
In his final interview as a Nottingham Forest player, Harry Toffolo thanked the fans and admitted it is tough to leave a club that has given him so much.
The 29-year-old confirmed earlier this month he would not be extending his contract.

Toffolo joined the Reds in 2022 after Forest won promotion to the Premier League and went on to make 50 appearances for the club.
"It was easy at the start really because I've been on holiday, but now I've come back and seen the city. You see the familiar faces - people you have built relationships with. They've come into your life at an important time - I've helped them and they've helped me," an emotional Toffolo told Forest TV.
"It's tough but wherever I go next, I'm excited for the future. I'm very, very grateful for this football club. It moved me when I was driving through the gate into the players' car park for probably the last time.
"This football club has given me so much. The fans... you have no idea what you have done [for me]."

Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season and secured European football in the process, with the Conference League coming to the City Ground next season.
And although he is leaving, Toffolo is optimistic about the future for the club.
"The facilities are incredible and you can really see a Premier League club now that's only going to get stronger and stronger. The club really has come a long way."

Exclusive: Napoli confident Liverpool will lower asking price for Darwin Nunez
Darwin Nunez has been a long-term transfer target for Antonio Conte's Napoli, who remain confident of striking a deal with Liverpool for a fee below the €50m mark, Football Italia understands. Napoli confident of Darwin Nunez for less than €50m Napoli have been targeting a move for Darwin for well over a month, dating back to the beginning of May, although it is understood that there had been discussions over the possibility of a move even earlier. Advertisement The Uruguay international has already given his openness to a move away from Anfield this summer, and Napoli remain confident that they will be able to get a deal done for a fee below the €50m mark, despite Liverpool having spent over €75m to bring him in from Benfica two years ago. LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – MARCH 08: Darwin Nunez of Liverpool celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Southampton FC at Anfield on March 08, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by) Football Italia understands that Napoli have already had Darwin's availability after talks with his representatives three or four days ago. That is despite recent reports linking him with a move to Serie A rivals Milan. The club are also aware that negotiations with Liverpool will not be particularly straight forwards, although Napoli remain happy to play the long game as things stand. Napoli also have alternative options lined up for their attacking department, including Italy international Lorenzo Lucca, whose move from Udinese remains on hold as things stand.

David Coote charged by Football Association over Jurgen Klopp comments
Former Premier League referee David Coote has been charged by the Football Association over remarks he made about ex-Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp. Coote was sacked last December by Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) after a video circulated on social media the previous month of him making derogatory comments about Klopp in July 2020. Advertisement One of those remarks referenced Klopp's nationality, and the FA said that constituted an alleged 'aggravated breach' under its rules. The FA said Coote would face no further action in regard to separate allegations of gambling misconduct, which he had strenuously denied. The FA said those allegations had been fully investigated.
