Nottingham Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez already looks to be well worth the money the club spent on him this summer.
The 25-year-old joined the Reds this summer for £8 million with fellow midfielder Remo Freuler going the other way to Bologna.
In his first six games for Forest, his ball-winning abilities have been showcased with Forest fans impressed with his playstyle.
He’s formed a great midfield partnership with Orel Mangala and Ibrahim Sangare – with Dominguez more advanced than the pair, with the Argentinian loving to step out and press.

Dominguez has taken everyone by surprise
On Sunday against Aston Villa, the 25-year-old won eight tackles, the most of any player in the Premier League in one game so far this season.
His tally of eight tackles was three more than any other player, with fellow teammate Moussa Niakhate second with five.
Back in Italy, Dominguez gained the reputation of being the ‘King of the Press‘ with the midfielder having a real desire to regain possession for his side.
It is clear to see in his play so far at the City Ground, with Dominguez always being the first player in a Forest shirt to initiate the press out of possession.
Signing of the season?
He may only be six games into his career at the City Ground, but Dominguez looks to be a really astute piece of business by the club.
The Argentinian has brought a completely new dimension to Steve Cooper’s side, with his desire to win the ball back allowing for quick counterattacks, as demonstrated on Sunday.
His form under Cooper could see the midfielder earn a recall to the Argentina national side ahead of the upcoming international break.
