MEDICAL UPDATE: STEFAN ORTEGA ARRIVES IN NOTTINGHAM TO FINALIZE SHORT-TERM PREMIER LEAGUE CONTRACT
Nottingham Forest are set to sign Stefan Ortega from Man City for £500k following John Victor's season-ending knee injury.
Nottingham Forest look set to bring some experience and composure to their goalkeeping squad, with Stefan Ortega close to joining from Manchester City. The Independent first broke the story, and it really feels like Forest is moving fast to shore up a key area for the challenging Premier League run-in.
Ortega’s reputation is a little under the radar. At City, he played backup to Ederson, stepping in for cup games and pressure moments. Fifty-six appearances over three seasons isn’t bad, especially behind a nailed-on number one. But football never stands still. With Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford arriving, Ortega dropped to third choice and hasn’t played at all this season.
For Forest, the move just makes sense. Ortega comes in as backup to Matz Sels after John Victor’s season-ending knee injury. That says it all, really. Injuries change everything, and having reliable cover is often the difference between staying up or going down.
Forest fans understand the value of a settled keeper. Matz Sels has been steady, but you need more than just one safe pair of hands these days. Ortega’s time at City hints at high training standards and a strong mentality.
He’s joining Forest on a free, though City could end up pocketing £500,000 if certain clauses kick in. For Forest, that’s a low-risk deal. If bonuses get paid, it means Ortega’s playing and probably doing well—hard to complain about that.
This is part of a busy January for Forest. They’ve brought in Lorenzo Lucca on loan, chased Davide Frattesi, and let players like Douglas Luiz move on. The signings aren’t flashy, but they’re clearly focused on what the squad actually needs.
City, for their part, keep reshaping—Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo have come in, and younger players have left. Ortega’s move is just part of that constant cycle.
There’s real value to having a keeper who’s trained every day under Pep Guardiola. Things like positioning, playing out from the back, and staying calm under pressure—City demands that. Forest could pick up some of those habits, even if Ortega isn’t starting every week.
There’s a personal side, too. A player who’s lost his place usually arrives with something to prove. If Ortega gets a chance, you can bet he’ll want to remind everyone why he played for the champions in the first place.
If you’re a Forest fan, this just feels like smart business. Backup goalkeepers don’t grab headlines, but these are the signings that quietly save points. After John Victor got hurt, it was natural to worry about depth. One more injury and things would’ve looked shaky.
Ortega brings a bit of pedigree. Fans remember how calm he was for City in the cups—steady on the ball, quick off his line. Even if he only fills in for a few games, belief in your backup matters. Those relegation scraps can turn on a single late save or a solid game away from home.
Plus, there’s some intrigue about what he’ll bring to the dressing room. Players who’ve been at title-winning clubs can raise the bar, even in training. The younger keepers might learn a thing or two just by watching him go about his business every day.
"FUMING" DAVID MOYES: EVERTON BOSS SLAMS MISSED CHANCES AFTER SHOCK HOME DEFEAT TO CHERRIES
David Moyes was left fuming as Everton threw away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 to Bournemouth. See player ratings and match highlights.
David Moyes couldn’t hide his frustration after Everton managed to throw away a 2-1 lead against Bournemouth. You could see it all over his face; he was fuming.
Everton actually seemed pretty settled after Iliman Ndiaye scored that first-half penalty. They weren’t exactly sparkling, but they had the game in their hands. Then, just eight minutes after halftime, everything unravelled. The chance to climb up to sixth in the table? Gone. Their wild European dream? Looking shaky.
Twice, they let Bournemouth score easy headers: first, Rayan, their £25 million January signing, and then Amine Adli. Things went from bad to worse when Jake O’Brien got himself sent off for dragging down Adli as he broke free.
Moyes didn’t feel like talking much. His press conference barely lasted three minutes. He just sighed and pointed out a couple of golden opportunities they wasted: Thierno Barry missed from close range, then Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s shot got headed over by James Hill.
“We probably missed a couple of good chances to get the second goal, so we only have ourselves to blame,” he said. “The players are doing a great job here; we just didn’t have quite enough tonight.”
Asked about O’Brien’s red card, Moyes just shrugged it off. “No opinion on it, no opinion on referees anymore.”
This was Everton’s fifth defeat at Hill Dickinson Stadium. They’ve only won four times there, and just once since November 8. Moyes wasn’t interested in digging into what’s going wrong at their new ground. “We’re playing good teams in the Premier League. Bournemouth are a good team.”
On the other side, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola didn’t pretend they’d played well. “I’m happy with the result,” he said, “but honestly, it wasn’t our best performance. That’s football, though. We played better against Villa and only got a point. Today, a draw probably would’ve been fair, but we found a way.”
He pointed to the set-piece goal as the difference. “It’s important for us. Everton is one of the best defensive teams, so scoring like that and winning that felt good.”
"PROPER FOOTBALL": DANIEL FARKE HAILS LEEDS' BRAVERY AFTER ERASING CHELSEA’S TWO-GOAL LEAD
Leeds United clawed back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Chelsea. Discover Daniel Farke’s tactical secrets and Noah Okafor’s heroics.
Daniel Farke watched his Leeds United team claw their way back from 2-0 down at Chelsea and leave with a 2-2 draw.
Things looked bleak at first. Joao Pedro put Chelsea ahead in the first half, and Cole Palmer buried a penalty after the break. Chelsea controlled the game, and honestly, it felt like they were just cruising to a win.
But then Leeds woke up. In the space of six minutes, everything flipped. First, Moises Caicedo fouled Jayden Bogle in the box, and Lukas Nmecha stepped up and smashed home the penalty. Suddenly, Leeds had hope. Next, Bogle just wouldn’t quit; he battled his way into the box, somehow got the ball to Noah Okafor, and Okafor tapped in the equaliser.
“Proper night of football,” Farke said afterwards, still buzzing. “Great night for everyone with Leeds United. I’m so proud of my players; they deserve a lot of praise.
Chelsea are flying at the moment, winning in the Premier League, winning in the Champions League. And we come here as a newly promoted side, missing some key guys – Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Pascal Struijk – really the backbone of our team. Some players were only just back from injury, too.
“With Chelsea’s quality, going 2-0 down can mean a long, ugly night. But this team doesn’t give up. We believe we can always fight back.”
Farke admitted that going 2-0 down was partly Leeds’ own fault. He couldn’t figure out why Jaka Bijol shoved Joao Pedro in the box; he thought the penalty was soft, but still, it was a needless risk. Even after those mistakes, Farke felt his team earned the point with their mentality. Chelsea pushed late, but Leeds hung on.
Okafor’s equaliser followed his goal against Nottingham Forest last weekend, probably his best showing for Leeds so far. Farke said it wasn’t easy to leave him out of the starting lineup at Chelsea, but he had his reasons.
“It was tough, but I had to use my head, not my heart,” he explained.
“Noah needs a bit longer to recover because of his physical style. We figured our wingers would have to do a ton of defensive work, and honestly, that’s not their biggest strength.
“We planned to keep things tight, adjust our formation as the match went on, and throw more attackers on late. We didn’t plan to be 2-0 down, but the idea was always to go for it in the last 20 or 30 minutes. Credit to the players; they earned a massive point tonight.”
