Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo has come out to respond to claims that the club wanted to sign David de Gea in January. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, De Gea is a very good and experienced goalkeeper who played regularly for MUFC, so it made sense for Forest to bring him in to help the club for the rest of the season.
Nuno, however, added that the club ended up signing Matz Sels because he has played in England before.
His words, “He’s [Matz] a good, experienced goalkeeper. He was playing regularly for his club, so it made sense to sign him and give us another option among our goalkeepers. It’s not about choices and whether he was first choice or not. Matz is here because he’s a good goalkeeper. He’s been here [in England] before.
A thousand names came out for goalkeepers that we were linked with and a lot of them were not true. He’s a complete goalkeeper. At this stage of his career, he’s completed all of the technical aspects, in terms of distribution and a shot-stopper. He has everything to become what we need from a goalkeeper. What we need from a goalkeeper is to give us confidence. This is what we expect for him to become a good option for us.”
WOW.
