Nottingham Forest are reportedly set to sign Carlos Miguel from Corinthians this summer, beating West Ham United to his signature.
Carlos Miguel has been linked with a move to West Ham United as well. But a report from Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte claims that the Hammers will lose out to Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper is set to join Nottingham Forest, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact at the Premier League club. Previously, there have been rumours that Carlos Miguel prefers a move to Nottingham Forest because he wants to play alongside compatriot Murillo at City Ground.
Nottingham Forest will certainly be delighted to win the race for his signature, and they will hope that he can develop into a key player for the club. They had a disappointing 2023/24 season and barely survived relegation. The Tricky Trees will be hoping to do well next year and bounce back strongly.
They need to bring in quality players this summer, and Miguel should prove to be a solid acquisition. The 25-year-old has been a key player for Corinthians, and he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well. It will be interesting to see if the Brazilian can adapt to the intensity and the physicality of English football quickly and establish himself as a regular starter for Nottingham Forest.
West Ham need someone like Carlos Miguel
West Ham needed to bring in a quality goalkeeper who can compete with Alphonse Areola as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets now. They must look to add more quality and depth to their score during the summer transfer window.
West Ham have a talented squad, but they need more quality if they want to compete for European qualification regularly and push for domestic trophies. They have hired a quality manager in Julen Lopetegui, and the Spanish manager will be expected to get them firing on all cylinders.
It will be interesting to see if he can bring in the right reinforcements during the summer transfer window and plug the weaknesses in his squad. West Ham have shown interest in several other Brazilian footballers including Luis Guilherme, Fabricio Bruno, and Vitao.
Meanwhile, moving to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity for Miguel, and he will look to prove his both in English football. If the 25-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper manages to succeed at Nottingham Forest, he might be able to join a big club in the near future as well.
