Nottingham Forest has signed Gonzalo Montiel from Sevilla on a season-long loan.

Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the completion of signing World Cup-winning defender Gonzalo Montiel on a season-long loan from Sevilla with an option to make the move permanent.

Gonzalo Montiel helped clinch Argentina’s World Cup victory over France by scoring the winning penalty in last December’s memorable final.

Despite signing a whopping 30 players last season, Steve Cooper’s side have continued to dip into the market for fresh faces. They have already signed Chris Wood, Ola Aina, Anthony Elanga and Matt Turner this summer.

"I'm really happy to have joined this club. I'm coming here full of expectations, of getting to play and showing what I can do," the 26-year-old said.

"I'm hungry to win things, to win trophies, now's the time to show this. I've been watching the Premier League since I was child. As a player, you want to play in the best league, and the Premier League is just that."

Sevilla signed Montiel in 2021, and since then, he has made 72 appearances for the Europa League winners. Moreover, he also scored the decisive penalty for Los Rojiblancos in their Europa League final triumph over Roma at the end of the previous campaign.

He helped the La Liga side win their seventh Europa League title last season by scoring the decisive penalty in the shootout to beat AS Roma in the final.
