Nottingham Forest believe new signing Andrew Omobamidele can be a star of the future.
The centre-back beat the clock when the Red Devils received a late offer on transfer deadline day.
According to The Athletic, Omobamidele is declared by Forest to be considered the sport of the future.
However, it has been suggested that it may still have a role in the short term.
The Red Devils feel like they have signed one of the best defenders outside the EFL.
Now, the Republic of Ireland international is hoping to play football in the Premier League.

Steve Cooper has prioritized three centre-backs so far in the 2023/24 campaign.
Therefore, this could provide more playing opportunities for young players.
Omobamidele played 55 times for Norwich before moving to Forest.
He has come through many levels in the club’s academy and the £11 million the Red Devils paid could be a bargain.

Orest now has several defenders in its ranks.
Joe Worrall is in great form, with Willy Boly, Scott McKenna, Felipe, Moussa Niakhate and Murillo also in the ranks.

This looks like an interesting signing.
Forest made the late decision to sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea on transfer deadline day, but when he rejected the move, the Red Devils changed course.
Omobamidele looks like a quality addition to the ranks and has an eye on the future.
At the age of 18, he was described as “brilliant” after appearing for Norwich in a match against Huddersfield.

At the age of 21, the future looks very promising for this player.
Omobamidele is renowned as a quality centre-back and this seems like a reasonable deal.

Korean journalist makes surprising claims about forest owner Hwang Ui-jo
Korean journalist Sungmo Lee has made an astonishing claim about Nottingham Forest-owned striker Hwang Ui-jo.
The striker joined Norwich City on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day.
Now the journalist has been asked on BBC Norfolk about the international striker.
Journalist Rob Butler has sought to provide an update on Hwang ahead of his possible debut for the Canaries this weekend.
Hwang has never played for the Red Devils.
He signed for Bordeaux last summer for around £4 million but was immediately loaned to Olympiacos and in January he moved to FC Seoul.
During the pre-season campaign, Hwang looked quite sharp for Forest.
However, it is difficult to imagine him making an impact in a league as demanding as the Premier League.

With this in mind, the 31-year-old has signed a loan deal with Norwich and he will relish the opportunity to make a name for himself in England.
Lee believes the Canaries have signed a top player.
In fact, he believes that Hwang is actually one of the best in the world!
He told BBC Radio Norfolk:
“When healthy, he is truly one of the best strikers in the world.
Actually.
He can score anywhere on the field; left, right, middle.
He’s also very good with headbutts.
The reporter makes a surprising claim about Hwang owning the forest
Red Devils fans will be shocked to know this.
Although Hwang is working on his proverbs this summer, calling him one of the best in the world is a huge exaggeration.
Forest landed Divock Origi on transfer deadline day.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the club to allow Hwang to go out on loan for the rest of the season.
Hwang hopes to prove his worth in English football during his time in the EFL.
He hardly stands a chance with Forest and this could actually be the door to his permanent move.
