Matz Sels released three big performances in October with Nottingham Forest. The Devils’ second goalkeeper is nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award.
Matz Sels is still in a period of discovery of the Premier League. Although he belonged to the Newcastle United club when he was loaned to Anderlecht, the Red Devil had only played 14 official matches with the Magpies.
From now on, the 32-year-old goalkeeper discovers the English championship in the shoes of a starter, under the colors of Nottingham Forest. And for the moment, things are going pretty well.
Starting each of the nine Premier League matches since the start of the season, Koen Casteels’ designated replacement in the national team has only conceded seven goals, with three clean sheets achieved. Nottingham is the surprising 7th in the championship, just ahead of Tottenham.
Matz Sels nominated for Premier League Player of the Month for October
In October, again, Matz Sels was decisive. He notably allowed his colors to snatch a point away from Chelsea, before achieving his third clean sheet in the success against Crystal Palace. In Leicester, six days ago, the former La Gantoise and Strasbourg player again made some nice saves during his team’s 1-3 victory.
A full month in an impressive start to the season, which places Matz Sels among the nominees for the title of player of the month in the Premier League. Sels competes with Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Josko Gvardiol, Danny Welbeck, Facundo Buonanotte, Bryan Mbeumo and teammate, Chris Wood.
