Forest boost goalkeeper department with free transfer signing of experienced Championship goalkeeper.
After the expiration of his contract with the Championship side at the end of last season, 29-year old Angus Gunn left Norwich on a free transfer, making 172 appearances for the Canaries over two spells.
West Brom had had their eye on Gunn and even had him on trial with them over the summer. With Baggies manager Ryan Mason dissatisfied with Josh Griffiths and Joe Wildsmith since their arrival at The Hawthorns, Mason was looking out for a new number one and the target was pretty set on the Scotsman. However, despite spending the summer with the 29-year old, the Baggies were beaten to the Gunn by a one Nottingham Forest in a surprise turn of events.
With journalist and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano breaking the news, the deal was confirmed today (Wednesday 6th August) .
Ahead of the forthcoming 2025-26 season, Forest had been in the market for a new goalkeeper after the departures of Matt Turner and Wayne Hennessey and ultimately scored Gunn after he had been a free agent this summer.
Gunn said Forest 'is a historic club on an exciting journey and I'm looking forward to being a part of it and getting to work.
'I'm joining a good group of keepers, and I believe my experience will add something to the team. I can't wait to get going,' he added.
