Brice Samba says he turned down the “dream” of playing in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest.
The goalkeeper starred for Steve Cooper ’s side last season as Forest enjoyed play-off success. Samba was the Reds’ number one, making 43 appearances as the club earned their long-awaited promotion back to the top-flight.
However, though it was a dream come true for Forest fans, Samba opted for a surprise move back to France in the summer. The 28-year-old ended his three-year stay at the City Ground to sign for Lens and has opened up about his reasons behind his decision.
