Ibrahim Sangare, a midfielder for Nottingham Forest, received praise from Jermaine Jenas as the Reds drew 1-1 with Brentford yesterday. The Ivorian was playing in his third match for the team following his deadline day transfer from PSV.
Forest were forced to settle for a share of the spoils. They played for way over an hour with 10 men against the Bees and a goal from Nicolas Dominguez cancelled out the opening goal scored by Christian Norgaard.
Sangare, a star for Forest, has been catching up to Premier League standards. He does appear better with two other midfielders in front of him; Orel Mangala and Dominguez started in the center of the field yesterday.
After the Forest match, Jenas gushes about Sangare.
The man who joined Newcastle after graduating from the club’s academy and earning them $5 million is a fan of the organization. He praised Sangare while he was on duty for Match of the Day 2 yesterday.
He said: “On the game, I thought there was a couple of positives. Sangare, in particular, in the midfield area, he looks like he’s going to add a lot to the side.”
The player looks like he will be an exceptional player for the Reds. At 25-years-old, he has bags of time on his side and hopefully, he can continue kicking on this season.
Cooper faces a Sangare problem.
The head coach’s challenge is to make sure Sangare adjusts to Forest as quickly as possible. He’ll probably accomplish it by participating in games, and the midfield now appears to be strong.
Sangare has come to Forest from the Eredivisie. In Holland, the games aren’t played at the same speed as the Premier League but so far he has looked pretty comfortable in all three games he’s played.
Sangare will hope to continue playing regularly for the team as the season progresses for Forest. He’s going to prove a sound investment for the club and the hope will be that he can really start to show his true colours in the coming weeks.
