Nottingham Forest have signed Aston Villa full-back Alex Moreno on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Moreno joined Villa from Real Betis in January 2023 and has made a total of 40 Premier League appearances for Unai Emery’s men, including 21 last season.
He started 11 times last term but spent most of his time as a backup to Lucas Digne, who made 27 starts as Emery’s team finished fourth to secure Champions League qualification.
He becomes Forest’s eighth signing of the current transfer window, after Elliot Anderson, Nikola Milenkovic, Ramon Sosa, Jota Silva, Marko Stamenic, Carlos Miguel and Eric da Silva Moreiro.
Forest’s chief football officer Ross Wilson said: “Alex is a player we have had a long-standing interest in so we are naturally all very happy to see him arrive at Nottingham Forest.
“He has amassed significant experience in LaLiga and the Premier League, and he brings all of that quality and experience to our group now.”
