Anderlecht chief executive Jesper Fredberg has revealed Hendrik van Crombrugge turned down a move to Nottingham Forest in January.
According to The Sun, Forest reportedly struck a £1.5 million agreement to sign the goalkeeper last month, with Steve Cooper in the market for a new shot stopper with number one Dean Henderson on the sidelines injured. Of course, Forest were able to sign an excellent alternative in the form of three-time Champions League winner Keylor Navas, who joined on loan from PSG on deadline day.
Navas made his Forest debut in the 1-0 win over Leeds United on Sunday, with his first half display crucial in securing the three points thanks to a number of excellent saves. But van Crombrugge himself is also an experienced 'keeper and would've provided Henderson with some healthy competition had he decided to make the move.
