Nottingham Forest Secure Angus Gunn in Key Goalkeeping Move

Free Agent Gunn Set to Sign for Forest

Nottingham Forest have moved swiftly to bolster their goalkeeping ranks by agreeing a deal with Angus Gunn, as first reported by Sky Sports News’ Rob Dorsett. The 29-year-old, who left Norwich City at the end of last season, is set to join Nuno Espirito Santo’s side on a free transfer.

Gunn had reportedly held discussions with multiple clubs but has now opted for a move to the City Ground. His arrival comes at a crucial time for Forest, who have seen significant changes in their goalkeeping department this summer.

According to Sky Sports, “Forest have been looking at goalkeeping options to offer competition and back up to Matz Sels and Carlos Miguel following the departure of Matt Turner to Lyon, and Wayne Hennessey’s retirement.” Gunn’s experience at both Premier League and Championship level makes him a valuable addition to the squad.

Squad Depth Strengthened Ahead of New Season

Gunn’s anticipated signing will give Nuno much-needed depth between the sticks. With Matt Turner moving to Lyon and veteran Wayne Hennessey calling time on his career, Forest were in urgent need of reinforcement in goal.

Forest already have Matz Sels and Carlos Miguel in their squad, but the addition of Gunn adds competition and quality. Having featured prominently for Norwich last season and with spells at Southampton and Stoke City under his belt, Gunn brings a wealth of experience and a steady pair of hands.

As reported by Sky Sports, “He is expected to sign his contract soon,” which suggests an official announcement could be imminent.

Angus Gunn’s Career in Focus

The 29-year-old keeper began his career at Manchester City before making his name during two spells at Norwich City. Gunn has also earned recognition at international level, representing Scotland in recent years.

Key Addition or Stopgap?

While Gunn’s signing may not make headlines like a marquee striker, his arrival is important. Goalkeeper depth often goes underappreciated until it becomes a problem, as Forest fans discovered last season with frequent changes in goal.

With his contract agreed and medical reportedly imminent, Angus Gunn could be wearing Forest red very soon.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

From a Nottingham Forest fan’s perspective, this signing feels like a sensible and timely move. Angus Gunn might not be the biggest name on the market, but supporters know the importance of reliable backup in goal – especially after the turbulence two seasons ago.

Forest fans will also be hoping that the club’s proactive approach in the transfer market extends beyond the goalkeeping position. With key fixtures coming up and hopes of building on a great season.

In short, Gunn’s arrival might not be glamorous, but it’s smart business. Forest have addressed a problem area early, and fans can look forward to more transfer activity in the coming weeks.
