Tottenham star Emerson Royal has claimed that Nottingham Forest could be about to strike lucky with one of their summer signings.
The Reds are in the market for a number of players this summer, with Nuno Espirito Santo keen to strengthen his ranks.
One area that Forest are going to strengthen is between the posts.
Matz Sels finished the season as the number-one goalkeeper, with Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos both failing to impress.
The two goalkeepers signed last summer could now be offloaded after just 12 months at the club.
Neither has pulled up any trees at Forest, with Turner in particular guilty of several high-profile errors.
Carlos Miguel looks like being added to the ranks and it would appear as though Royal is a huge fan of the stopper.
What Emerson Royal said about incoming Forest signing Carlos Miguel
The giant goalkeeper looks set to sign for the Reds soon – and it seems that they’re getting quite the player.
Although Miguel hasn’t played much football for Corinthians, Royal has sung the praises of the custodian.
He told Brazilian journalistAndre Hernan: “The Corinthians goalkeeper Carlos Miguel is a monster.
“He has a bright future. I’ve seen few goalkeepers with the agility he has. Even though he’s very tall, he is very agile, so he is a goalkeeper who has a very big future ahead.”
Miguel can light up the Premier League
Since Brice Samba departed following promotion to the Premier League the club has struggled to replace him.
Last season, Dean Henderson and Keylor Navas did a decent job but Samba has been missed somewhat.
There may be some comparisons between Samba and Miguel, with the Brazilian proving a nuisance during a recent game against Sao Paulo.
Miguel will of course have to prove himself to the Forest faithful and showcase that he’s got what it takes in the Premier League.
However, if what Royal says is true, Forest might be getting themselves a real gem of a goalkeeper.
