Nottingham Forest defender Nikola Milenkovic has been a revelation at the City Ground since joining just a few months ago.

Forest have struck gold with Milenkovic
Forest struggled defensively last season, particularly at set pieces, and Milenkovic – as well as Murillo – have helped turn things r🦄ound for the Reds on this front.
Forest now boast one of the meanest defences in ꧅the top flight, and they’ve certainly lai൩d some great foundations upon which to build after the international break.
Better still, £12million for a player of Milenkovic’s quality is an absolute bargain. That’s the kind of price t𝔉hat would have landed a top defender about 25 years ago.
