There could be an opportunity for James McAtee to play a key role at Nottingham Forest.

James McAtee needs first-team football to grow as a player. He is at an age where he must be playing to fulfil his potential. It’s been apparent for some time that McAtee will not get that opportunity at Manchester City. Unfortunately for McAtee his path to regular first-team football at City is blocked. As talented as McAtee is he hasn’t been able to earn regular minutes at City. He is behind a host of players in the pecking order at Manchester City. That is unlikely to change next season for the England under-21 international. Manchester City’s signing of Rayan Cherki and the return from injury of Oscar Bobb would further limit the opportunities for McAtee to play. But perhaps a move to Nottingham Forest would give McAtee the opportunities he needs to develop as a player.

There could be an important role for James McAtee to play at Nottingham Forest. With Morgan Gibbs-White set to complete his move to Tottenham, there looks to be an immediate role in the Forest line-up for McAtee. He could have an opportunity to become a key player as Forest looks to replace Morgan Gibbs-White. Of all of the clubs interested in McAtee, Nottingham Forest could offer him the opportunity he desperately needs.

Nottingham Forest look set to make their move to sign James McAtee from Manchester City. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side may be the ideal club to give McAtee the opportunity to blossom as a player. It would seemingly only be a matter of time before Forest submit their first offer to sign the young Manchester City midfielder.
