Nottingham Forest manager Nuno says Matz Sels was their first-choice goalkeeper signing last month.
Before Sels' arrival from Strasbourg, the likes of former Manchester United keeper David de Gea was being linked with Forest.
He's [Matz] a good, experienced goalkeeper," Nuno said via SportsBoom.com. He was playing regularly for his club, so it made sense to sign him and give us another option among our goalkeepers.
"It's not about choices and whether he was first choice or not. Matz is here because he's a good goalkeeper. He's been here [in England] before.
A thousand names came out for goalkeepers that we were linked with and a lot of them were not true. He's a complete goalkeeper. At this stage of his career, he's completed all of the technical aspects, in terms of distribution and a shot stopper.
He has everything to become what we need from a goalkeeper. What we need from a goalkeeper is to give us confidence. This is what we expect for him to become a good option for us."
