‘All the very best’: Club coach drops hint ‘wonderful’ Aston Villa-linked player is on the move
With Aston Villa reportedly on the verge of signing Matty Cash, Gary Brazil has wished the youngster all the best on Twitter.
As reported by the on Wednesday, a deal has been agreed between Villa and Nottingham Forest for Cash, thought to be in the region of £14million.

, meanwhile, claimed earlier this week that personal terms between Villa and Cash’s representatives have already been finalised.
Forest academy manager Brazil took to social media on Wednesday to express a “mixture of emotions” at the club in wake of Cash’s seemingly imminent departure:
Mixture of emotions for the Academy today. Excited for and proud of Matty’s progress throughout his time at the Club. Saddened to lose a lovely human being and someone who has been a wonderful ambassador and embodies everything strong in our Academy. All the very best Cashy 👍👍

Cash was one of Forest’s standout performers last season as they came within a whisker of making the Championship playoffs.
The Reds academy graduate has made for the City Ground side, claiming 13 goals and 15 assists, since making his debut in 2016.
Last season, Cash was switched from midfield to full-back by Sabri Lamouchi, a decision which has reaped dividends.
Should the 23-year-old join Villa, he would provide competition for Frederic Guilbert and Ahmed Elmohamady in Dean Smith’s squad.
