Many names have been circulated, including that of David De Geamentioned in the Spanish and British press, but it is ultimately Matz Selsreplacement goalkeeper for the Red Devils, who left Strasbourg for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Sels, 31, flew to Nottingham by private plane on transfer deadline day and signed a three-and-a-half season contract there that evening. The transfer is expected to cost between 6 and 7 million euros.
“Matz is here today because he is a good goalkeeper“, said the coach Nuno Espirito Santo during Friday’s press conference. “He has started in goal for Strasbourg and has almost always played there, which means he is usable almost immediately. It is now up to us to choose when this will happen, although we are still waiting to receive his work permit. Matz is an experienced goalkeeper who gives us an additional option between the poles. I know a lot of names have been thrown around, but in most cases they haven’t made the cut, so let’s stop speculating“.
At Nottingham Forest, the Red Devil will become the teammate of Divock Origion loan from AC Milan. Eagle Mangalaanother Belgian from the Portuguese coach’s core, has left Nottingham Forest for French club Lyon.
