Nottingham Forest currently has a variety of loan players, some of whom are performing better than others.
Forest’s status as a Premier League team has allowed them to provide some promising young players with regular football experience.
Several players are currently competing in a variety of domestic and international leagues.
Being in the top flight has made it tough for some younger players to make the transition from the youth squad to the first team.
Still, the loan market is useful in this regard, and it has shown to be highly beneficial for some Forest youth youngsters who are waiting in the wings.
Brandon Aguilera is one of them, and the Costa Rica international signed a loan deal with Bristol Rovers in January.
He made his first-team debut that month before going on loan, but he’s now starting to demonstrate what he’s all about in League One.
Brandon Aguilera stars throughout the EFL triumph.
Aguilera’s recent improvement has been hampered by a hamstring issue.
He is now on the mend, and he was on the bench at the weekend when the Gas faced Cheltenham.
Grant Ward’s early injury forced him into action, and he entered the game in the 22nd minute.
Aguilera assisted himself to another goal in this game, scoring the second in a 3-1 victory over the relegation-threatened team.
The national media praised the athlete, giving him an 8/10 for his performance from the bench.
Bristol Live wrote: “It was heartbreaking to see Grant Ward pushed off, but the Nottingham Forest loanee came on and wreaked havoc in the final third.
“The goal was a fantastic finish, but his whole midfield play was outstanding, particularly when up against a tough opponent. “Much better from Costa Rican.”
Aguilera deserves a chance with Forest next season.
At 20 years old, the Forest youngster’s future seems exceedingly bright, with a City Ground opportunity beckoning.
Aguilera, who has played some men’s football in League One, will be interested in playing for Forest next season.
If the Reds gem can have a good pre-season with the squad, he might join the squad next season as Forest aim to cut their cloth accordingly.
Forest landed Aguilera as an unknown quantity. He’s now making waves in League One, and this is his second goal on loan.
The attacking midfielder’s versatility allows him to play anywhere in a front three, which could benefit Nuno Espirito Santo next season.
