'He's been that good': Jamie Carragher left 'really impressed' by £12m Nottingham Forest ace
Yesterday at 05:20 PM
Nottingham Forest managed to add to their points tally with all three points at home to Crystal Palace.
Nuno Espirito Santo had to watch on as his side got all three points, which puts Forest even further up the table.
Nottingham Forest now find themselves back in the top half in eighth position, and can now hopefully look forward to Morgan Gibbs-White returning.
It’s believed that Gibbs-White is on very much day-to-day assessment with the medical apartment, and will be assessed before the next game against Leicester City on Friday night.
Elliot Anderson didn’t do a bad job at all deputising for Gibbs-White, earning the praise of Alan Smith who compared him to Lionel Messi after his mazy run in the first-half.
Now, one player is attracting praise from Jamie Carragher.
Jamie Carragher ‘really impressed’ by one Nottingham Forest player
Jamie Carragher is one of the most well-known pundits in English football, and he just couldn’t help but purr over one Nottingham Forest player in particular.
Speaking before the game on Sky Sports, the former Liverpool defender was full of praise for Nikola Milenkovic, and even suggested he prefers him to Murillo.
“Since Murillo came in, I mean, the Forest fans love him because he is not just a good defender, he has a great left foot, he has shots from far out.
“But this fellow (Milenkovic) looks like a real out-and-out defender. I think there is a feeling around Nottingham Forest the fact that they quite can't believe they have got him.
“He has been that good. It wasn't an awful lot of money. He looks like a real defender. I am really impressed with him.”
Nikola Milenovic’s fantastic start to life at Nottingham Forest
Nikola Milenkovic joined for £12 million from Fiorentina in the summer transfer window, and he’s already at least doubled his price tag in just eight games.
Newcastle are impressed by what they’ve seen from Milenkovic and have already expressed an interest in bringing him to St James’ Park, though Nuno Espirito Santo will have a big say in that.
Nuno Espirito Santo has already expressed how impressed he is with Milenkovic and wants other players in the squad to be just like him.
Interestingly, Milenkovic even impressed Chelsea fans prior to the international break, with many even saying he looked better than Murillo.
