By admin Steve Hodge has shared his opinion regarding the disappointing performance of a Nottingham Forest player throughout the 2023/24 season. Despite avoiding relegation, Forest faced challenges, including a four-point deduction. As they head into the summer transfer window, Hodge has pinpointed one player who failed to meet expectations.
The player in question is Ibrahim Sangare, Forest’s record-signing who arrived last summer for £30 million from PSV. While Sangare was expected to be a dominant force in midfield, controlling games with his bullish style, he has not lived up to these expectations. Hodge expressed his disappointment on the “Shut up and Show More Football” podcast, highlighting Sangare’s struggles to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
Despite his difficulties, there remains hope that Sangare can succeed at Forest. Hodge acknowledges that players transitioning from leagues like the Eredivisie often face challenges, and Sangare could still find his rhythm under manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s guidance. However, the club faces a significant decision regarding Sangare’s future, considering his hefty price tag and performance thus far.
With financial considerations in mind, Forest may need to decide whether to give Sangare more time to prove himself or explore the possibility of selling him during the upcoming transfer window. The outcome of this decision will be closely watched by fans and observers alike.
