Latest Nottingham Forest news as Reds legend discusses star defender Murillo and centre-back partner Nikola Milenkovic
Stuart Pearce believes Nottingham Forest is the best place for star centre-back Murillo to continue his development.
“I hope he stays at Forest. He’s catching people’s eye and being talked about, and if you’re being talked about in the Premier League there’s no doubt that people are going to be around you,” the former Reds player and manager said. The signing of Nikola Milenkovic in the summer has helped push Murillo on further. The duo are an effective partnership and have contributed to a solid defence being a key strength for Forest this season.
“Milenkovic coming in to partner Murillo at the heart of the defence looks a good partnership,” Pearce added. “Milenkovic is someone I looked at when I was at West Ham - his name was mentioned a fair bit. That partnership looks pretty good.” “And Chris Wood is scoring goals, which is fantastic for the club as well. He is having a halcyon period in his career. If he’s not fit, Taiwo Awoniyi did well last season so can step in for him. The bottom line is they’ve got threat on the counterattack with pace, and two goalscorers at the point of the team.
