Forest Planning Offer to sign 22 million pounds sterling after McATEE

Will the Nottingham forest continue to be occupied on the transfer market, before its opening match of the Premier League against Brentford on Sunday?

Until now, the Garibaldi Reds have signed the goalkeeper Angus Gunn, the Brazilian duo Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha, both from Botafogo, and, more recently and above all, the Dan Ndoye de Bologna winger, costing 34 million pounds sterling.

Having finished seventh last season, the side of Nuno Espírito Santo is preparing for a European campaign, the first time that the forest is in competition on the continent in 30 years, which means that the depth of the squad will be the key, so are they ready to strengthen their midfielder options?

Forest of Nottingham targeting reinforcements of the midfielder

Despite four new additions, the best company in Nottingham Forest made this summer, without a doubt, is to keep your hand on Morgan Gibbs-White.

The 25 -year -old man seemed to leave when Tottenham sparked his liberation clause with 60 million pounds sterling, but the Spurs were finally “amazed” when the midfielder rather signed a new three -year contract, news that completely came out of blue.

This is a serious declaration of intention of the forest, capable of keeping his best player, so will he now strengthen their midfielder options to help get the most out of Gibbs-White?

Well, in the middle of the conversation that they are about to sign James McATEE from Manchester City, another high -level midfielder could be on the way to Nottingham.

According to a teamtalk report, Nottingham Forest “plots” a decision to sign Yunus Musah from AC Milan, adding that they “plan to make an offer” for the American international, worth around 22 million pounds sterling.

The Rossoneri has renewed the Massimiliano Allegri as head coach this summer, following a catastrophic campaign which saw them finish eighth in Serie A, having not been able to qualify for any European competition.

During the pre-season tour of Il Diavolo in Asia last month, the newly hired sports director, Igli Tare, said that “I consider Musah an excellent player, but we are looking for profiles with characteristics that correspond to the [Allegri] Project “, which sounds a lot as if they are open to a sale.

So, could the 22-year-old soon exchange San Siro for the city’s land?

What fans of Nottingham Forest should expect Yunus Musah

Born in New York, Musah’s family moved to London when he was only nine years old, spending seven years at Hale End Academy in Arsenal, before moving to Valence at the age of 16.

After starting in Los Murciélagos team B, he made his senior debut a year after his arrival, accumulating 108 appearances for Los Che.

His performances drew the attention of AC Milan, joining the Italian giants for a reported amount of 17 million pounds sterling there are two summer, with 80 times in two seasons for the Rossoneri, but he only started 19 series games at the last time.

Musah has also won 47 captains for the United States, although its importance has decreased since the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino last year, with Taylor Rockwell of Total Soccer Show, noting that he must start games regularly at the club as a central midfielder if he houses realistic hopes of being an important figure in the World Cup.

Well, another 22 years, Musah could certainly do it at a high level, Greg O’Keeffe of athletics calling him “talent as an exciting midfielder”.

Robbie Dunne de The Analyst of Opta agrees, saying that he is “ extremely talented ” and capable of carrying out instructions, since he is able to “quickly cover the ground”, from where why the coaches often do so, even if he is better used in the center, with his “greatest force”.

In the meantime, Mario Husillos Jr. of Total Football Analysis notes that his “influence can be seen in the whole field when it is deployed in a central role, thus gave a license to” get closer to defenders to help accumulation “.

It certainly seems that Musah would be the type of defensive midfielder who works hard and hard who would be able to make the most of Gibbs-White, so let’s compare their respective statistics last season.

The table first and above all underlines the lack of importance of Musah to AC Milan, since it made two additional appearances that Gibbs-White in all competitions last season, but accumulated almost 1000 minutes less.

In addition to that, the table explains why the duo could form an excellent partnership in the midfield.

The English international is the chief creator, hence the reason why his figures with regard to the objectives, the aids, the shots and the chances created are all exponentially higher.

The American, on the other hand, is safer in possession, ending a higher percentage of his passes, while displaying better defensive figures, especially in terms of plated.

At the base of the Nottingham Forest midfielder, there is a place to be won alongside Elliot Anderson, so that Musah can be the man for this position, allowing Gibbs-White, deployed like a number ten, to flourish for the Nuno team.
