Feirense star Tiago Silva could reportedly be Sabri Lamouchi’s first signing at Championship giants Nottingham Forest.
Sabri Lamouchi is already starting to win over the Nottingham Forest fans.
According to the Nottingham Post, Martin O’Neill’s successor has taken all of one week to realise that Forest’s midfield is suffering from a chronic lack of creativity and speed. And the former Rennes boss is already going to work trying to change that.
Tiago Silva, a talented little midfielder from Feirense rather than the PSG powerhouse, could be on his way to the City Ground with The Post claiming that Lamouchi has made the 26-year-old his top priority.
Yes, Silva was relegated from the Portuguese top flight last season but he really didn’t deserve to be. The former Benfica starlet was a constant thorn in the side of opposition defences with his excellent ball control and intelligent use of the ball making him a reliable source of creativity in an otherwise struggling team.
He could be the ace in the pack Forest need, that gamechanging presence in an otherwise workmanline engine room. An all-Iberian partnership of Silva and Joao Carvalho would certainly get Forest fans on their feet for all the right reasons after the turgid football served up under O’Neill.
It seems that Lamouchi is on the same page as his new supporters.
