Nottingham Forest are set to sign the Corinthians scorekeeper Carlos Miguel this summer.
According to journalist Bruno Andrade, he will sign a five-year contract with the Premier League club. The 25-year-old is highly rated in South America and he will look to make his mark in English football.
The opportunity to move to Europe will be an exciting one for Miguel and he has chosen to join Nottingham Forest. Apparently, the player was a target for West Ham United as well. However, he wanted to play alongside Murillo, his old friend. It seems that the player decided to snub a move to West Ham because he wanted to be in a more familiar environment.
Journalist Victor Pozella has claimed: “My information is that everything is right with Nottingham Forest. Carlos Miguel will go to them and not West Ham.
“There was also another club from France that wanted him, but he decided to go with Forest.
“He has some friends at Forest, like Murillo, who he previously played with. It’s safer for him to start in Europe, in the Premier League, playing for Forest.”
