GOOD NEWS: Evangelos Marinakis already reviewing to hand TWO unrecognized Nottingham Forest Prospect contract extension as Club owner plan to scare away BID from EPL clubs against January window.
Nottingham Forest’s recent victory over West Ham has lifted them to third place in the Premier League, bringing them closer to their European ambitions.
Before the weekend match, Julen Lopetegui had commended Nuno Espirito Santo and his team, though he may have felt differently after West Ham’s defeat at the City Ground. Chris Wood, now nicknamed “Woodaldinho,” scored his eighth goal of the season, continuing to exceed expectations.
Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, seems pleased with the team’s progress and is reportedly considering rewarding a key figure for his contributions.
**Nuno Espirito Santo Expected to Receive a New Contract at Nottingham Forest**
Forest are planning new contracts for standout players like Chris Wood and Ola Aina, thanks to their impressive performances this season. Murillo is the only player yet to enter contract negotiations. Now, it seems that Espirito Santo is also on the list.
Reports from TalkSPORT indicate that Marinakis is set to reward Espirito Santo with a substantial new deal, impressed with the team’s strong start to the season. Marinakis is also considering bringing Edu into a role within his multi-club model, potentially involving Nottingham Forest.
**Espirito Santo’s Impact on Nottingham Forest**
Under Espirito Santo, Forest’s defense has seen a remarkable improvement from last season, especially on set pieces. This season, Forest has conceded only two goals from set pieces in their first ten games and currently holds the Premier League’s second-best defensive record.
Espirito Santo has also fostered strong team unity, evident in post-win celebrations with both social media staff and players. The additions of Elliot Anderson and Nikola Milenkovic, which Espirito Santo likely influenced, have proven valuable for Forest’s successful start to the season.
