Nottingham Forest Close In On Signing José Angel Carmona From Sevilla

Nottingham Forest are in serious talks to sign Spanish defender José Angel Carmona from Sevilla. The discussions are at an advanced stage as Forest look to strengthen their defense during the transfer window.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Forest have made Sevilla‘s right-back José Angel Carmona their main target. They are in advanced discussions about signing the 23-year-old. Carmona is a natural right-back and might soon be playing in the Premier League. Talks between the clubs are moving fast. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo wants to solidify the defense. Carmona’s arrival could help stabilize the team after a difficult start to the season.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S SEASON SO FAR

Forest have had a positive start in the Premier League. They won their league opener and are one of the teams at the top of the table with 3 points after the opening match. The defense will be tested as the team is also present in the Conference League. The club wants to add experience, especially at full-back, as injuries and suspensions have forced tactical changes. Their next game is against Crystal Palace, who ended in 12th last season, but won the FA Cup and this season’s Community Shield against Liverpool, the Premier League champions. It’s an important match for Forest to gain momentum and move away from the relegation zone.

WHAT NEXT FOR CARMONA AND FOREST?

If the transfer happens, Carmona will join a Forest team eager to stabilize and aim for mid-table security. Carmona played 32 times for Sevilla last season, scoring two goals and providing four assists in all competitions. He has shown impressive attacking potential for a defender. Sevilla finished 17th in La Liga and are looking to rebuild after a disappointing season, making Carmona’s exit likely. Forest’s immediate challenge will be integrating Carmona quickly and hoping his arrival will improve their results as they face strong opponents in the coming weeks.
