The former Wolves defender has been hailed the ‘Moroccan Maldini’ and would add vital leadership to Cooper’s side…
Nottingham Forest target Roman Saiss could add some much-needed leadership to the club’s defence as they prepare for their second season back in the Premier League.
After a wild transfer window last summer, it seems the Midlands outfit aren’t afraid to splash the cash again, with the club linked to a number of different players already.
With several key figures leaving the club, such as Keylor Navas, who will return to PSG following his loan spell, and Jack Colback, who hasn’t been offered a new contract
Steve Cooper’s side have plenty of recruitment to do to replace the outgoing talent.
One name the side have been linked with is free agent Aaron Martin who could be a strong successor for Renan Lodi who has returned to Atletico Madrid.
The Spaniard isn’t the only defender the club is interested in, though, with Forest identifying former Wolverhampton Wanderers man Saiss as a strong addition to their backline, according to reports in Turkey.
If Forest were to land Saiss, the club would secure a strong leader who would be vital in the side’s bid to avoid relegation this season.
The defender has been hailed as “Maldini from Morocco” by his former manager Bruno Lage due to his incredible leadership at the heart of a team’s defence, and it’s an attribute Cooper’s side would benefit tremendously from.
