Nottingham Forest are still pushing to improve their squad options despite the heavy spending put forward this summer.
A deal for Nicolo Savona is set to be complete, and the Italian has already spoken about his Forest move and his excitement to play in the Premier League.
Evangelos Marinakis is not standing still though, as work on bringing in a third goalkeeper for the Nottingham Forest squad is underway.
There were concrete links for goalkeeper Dominic Livakovic, but it now appears the Tricky Trees are looking at another option.
Nottingham Forest ‘pushing’ to sign David Soria
Nottingham Forest have made signing Spanish goalkeeper David Soria their ‘top priority’ according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
According to the journalist, the Garibaldi are ‘now pushing hard’ to capture the signature of the Getafe ‘keeper, and that they have had one bid already rejected.
Talks are continuing with Getafe for the 32-year-old as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to add a third goalkeeper to his first-team squad.
Soria is an experienced goalkeeper with over 350 appearances and keeping over 130 clean sheets throughout his time in La Liga.
It is clear why signing a goalkeeper is a priority at Nottingham Forest
Any goalkeeper coming in would already know that Matz Sels is the number one. However, every squad needs at least three goalkeepers.
Having no backup options in the event that your starting ‘keeper gets injured or sent off would be a disaster, and it isn’t always best to trust in an unproven youth product.
David Soria would already know the situation, and that he won’t be starting for Forest. If personal terms are ‘not an issue,’ it appears he is happy with it.
The Spaniard would join Angus Gunn as part of the goalkeeper depth, and both players would be challenging and competing against each other to become the second choice goalkeeper.
While it is a player who will see few minutes, it would be one of the most important additions this summer.
