Nottingham Forest fans stunned by ‘massive’ Nikola Milenkovic development
Nottingham Forest fans have been left stunned by Nikola Milenkovic’s performance in the 1-0 Premier League win v Southampton.
The centre-back, who was signed from Fiorentina for a fee of £12million this summer, made his debut for the club at St Mary’s and has already impressed supporters.
He played a crucial role as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side kept their first clean sheet of the season – leading to a hugely positive reception from the travelling fans.
Forest had targeted a new option to play alongside Murillo, who had an impressive first season in England last time out, and landed on Milenkovic as their main target.
Beating off rivals for his signature is now being lauded as a huge coup by the recruitment team as he has slotted seamlessly into Nuno’s side.
Forest have now taken four points from their opening two games this season, with the Serbian defender playing a crucial role in the latest victory.
