Nottingham Forest have completed a loan deal for Manchester City’s young winger, Joël Ndala, with an option to make the move permanent.
The deal includes an option to buy the Congolese-born player for £4 million, along with a 20% sell-on clause should Manchester City decide to offload Ndala in the future, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Ndala, who had been on loan at PSV Eindhoven earlier this season, saw his temporary stay in the Netherlands cut short.
Now, the 20-year-old is set to continue his development in the Premier League with Forest, marking a fresh chapter in his career.
A product of Manchester City’s renowned youth system, Ndala’s talent has long been recognized, and he will now have the chance to showcase his skills at the highest level.
Despite his recent spell in the Eredivisie, his return to England signals an important opportunity to advance his professional journey in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
While details about the exact terms of the loan are still emerging, the potential for the move to become permanent presents a promising future for the winger.
Should he impress during his time at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest could exercise the option to make the deal permanent, which would further underline their commitment to nurturing young talent.
“Joël is a very promising player, and we are pleased to bring him to Nottingham Forest.
This loan move presents him with the chance to make a real impact in the Premier League, and we look forward to seeing him develop with us,” said a club spokesperson.
Ndala’s move is the latest in a series of strategic signings for Forest, as they look to strengthen their squad in a bid to establish themselves in the Premier League.
The 20-year-old winger’s pace, technical ability, and creativity have made him an exciting prospect, and many will be watching closely to see how he adapts to life in English football.
As the transfer window progresses, Forest fans will be hopeful that Ndala’s arrival marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club.
