Matz Sels flies to England. As indicated this Thursday morning, the Strasbourg goalkeeper created a surprise by reaching an agreement with the Nottingham Forest club. While the Belgian international was expected in the evening across the Channel to undergo the traditional medical examination relating to his signing, the two clubs managed to finalize the transaction, estimated at €8 million plus €2 in bonuses, before the fateful hour. .
As a result, the 31-year-old signed a three and a half year contract with the residents of the City Ground and therefore returned to the English championship after having worn the colors of Newcastle in the past. On the other hand, it is a real blow for Strasbourg which comes the day before its duel against Paris Saint-Germain. To replace the Belgian, the RCSA relied on Matthieu Dreyer, who signed for a period of one and a half years from AS Saint-Etienne.
