Nottingham Forest Goalkeeper Matz Sels Signs Contract Extension

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels has signed a new contract with the club following a standout 2024-25 season in which he shared the Premier League Golden Glove with Arsenal's David Raya by keeping 13 clean sheets, the club's joint-most ever in the competition. Since joining from Strasbourg in February 2024, Sels has been instrumental in Forest's return to European competition for the first time since 1995-96, maintaining a save percentage of 72.1% and leading in punches made. Forest finished seventh in the Premier League, securing European qualification, and Sels played every league game, also contributing to the club's FA Cup run to the semi-finals. The new deal extends Sels' contract until 2027 with improved terms, reflecting his vital role under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Sels expressed excitement about continuing his journey with Forest and competing in Europe, while the club's chief football officer praised his consistent high-level performances. Additionally, Forest midfielder Danilo has departed the club to join Botafogo in Brazil on a four-year deal after making 62 appearances over two years.
