Midfielder Orel Mangala believes Nottingham Forest are starting to prove they belong in the Premier League after some improved performances in recent weeks.
And having recovered from a hamstring injury, the 24-year-old is excited to really show what he can do, too, as he embraces the fast-paced nature of English football. The signs are encouraging, with Mangala having made a positive early impression in his seven appearances so far this season.
Nicknamed “Pattex” by fans of former club Stuttgart, after a German brand of superglue because of the way the ball sticks to his feet, the summer signing says he has settled into life Trentside. One of 22 new arrivals during the transfer window, Mangala believes there are signs the team is beginning to gel on the pitch as they prepare to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
