Ange Postecoglou makes first Nottingham Forest transfer decision as €20m deal agreed

Ange Postecoglou looks to have made his first Nottingham Forest transfer decision.

Jota Silva is said to have flown to Turkey in order to complete a loan transfer to Besiktas.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states the Reds will receive a loan fee close to €3m and the deal will include a buy option clause close to €17m that can become mandatory.

Postecoglou took charge at the City Ground on Tuesday and was unveiled at a press conference on Thursday.

In his first interview with the Reds, he expressed his determination to take Forest back to "its rightful place" in English football.

"I love winning things. That's what I've done," Postecoglou said in an in-house interview.

"From my perspective now it's about implementing my own ideas. It's no secret I like my teams to attack, I love my teams to score goals.

"That is sometimes misconstrued as me just playing one way, but the reason I want my team to play that way is because I love winning things and that is what I want to do here.

"When you look at what the club has achieved in recent times, it's an outstanding feat to be where we are right now.

"Other clubs that have won promotion have struggled to stay in the league, but in a short space of time we're back in Europe and competing for honours, which is a great credit to everyone involved.

"I get a sense that the club wants more and that's certainly what I want, so I think it's a really exciting time.

"I'm honoured and I'm humbled, but more importantly I'm determined to make sure this football club takes its rightful place."
