Just days after signing Elliot Anderson, Nottingham Forest appear to be on the verge of signing another player.
Forest moved quickly to secure the Newcastle talent, and it appears that many more players will be added to the roster before the season begins.
Nuno Espirito Santo like to work with smaller squads, and there is sure to be some outgoing business.
With the transfer market being open, it appears like Forest will sign another player to improve their roster.
Nottingham Forest ready to sign a player from Corinthians.
This summer, history will repeat itself, with Forest returning to the club that signed Murillo to bring in another new recruit.
This time it’s goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, and the deal is almost done, according to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail.
The player has been associated with Forest for a long time, and it appears that Forest has finally found their man.
Miguel is 6ft 8in tall and should provide excellent competition for a place between the posts alongside Matz Sels.
A Brazilian journalist recently predicted that the 25-year-old will be Brazil’s number one player, and he believes Corinthians are making a mistake by moving him.
Miguel has the potential to be a City Ground favourite.
Forest have had a poor record with goalkeepers since their elevation to the Premier League.
Dean Henderson performed admirably in the first half of 2022/23, and Keylor Navas fared well on loan.
However, last season proved to be a complete disaster.
Matt Turner never seemed like a credible number one, while Odysseas Vlahcodimos appeared unconvincing when called upon.
In fairness, Sels looked capable in the second half of last season, but Forest are clearly searching for a number one to hang their hat on.
Miguel resembles Brice Samba, which might bode well.
In his final Corinthians appearance against Sao Paulo, he made an incredible save that looked straight out of a Samba textbook.
He also shoved a player over, resulting in a caution, which is similar to what the current France international did at Forest.
If Miguel has half of Samba’s affinity with the Reds fans, Forest will have a winner between the posts.
