NFFC Transfers: Will Forest Repeat Their Barca Swoop?

Last updated : 12 May 2015 By Forest

22-year-old defender Derik Osede, part of the Real Madrid set-up at 'C' and 'B' team level, is wanted by a number of English clubs this summer according to national newspaper reports this week.

Forest swooped a year ago for Roger Riera, signing the centre-half from Barcelona where he had been part of their UEFA Youth League winning team.

Riera has adapted well to life at the City Ground, as a glance at his Twitter page soon confirms, and the Under-21 captain was part of the senior matchday squad for the final league game of the season against Cardiff City.

Under-21 coach Jimmy Gilligan has praised Riera as a 'strong character' and much more first-team football seems to be likely next season.
