  • Willy Boly will now play for Premier League club Nottingham Forest after he signed a two-year deal
  • The Ivorian international missed Wolves’ clash against Newcastle United despite that he was named in the matchday squad
  • He will now play for PL returnees Nottingham Forest as he becomes their 19th signing of the season

Ivorian defender Willy Boly has officially joined English Premier League club Nottingham Forest, from Wolves on a two-year-deal.

The defender decided to dump Wolves after failing to turn up in Sunday’s game against Newcastle United despite that he was included in the matchday squad.

Having spent four seasons with the Wanderers with 147 matches in all competitions, the 31-year-old did everything possible to move to the City Ground.

The result meant they had conceded 11 goals so far, and manager Steve Cooper wanted further defensive reinforcements.

BBC reports that Boly will be available for Forest's game against fellow newly-promoted side Bournemouth on Saturday.

Anthony delighted to join Manchester United

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s new signing Anthony said the chance to play with Erik Ten Hag again was a key motivator for his move to Old Trafford.

Anthony was unveiled by the club on Thursday, September 1 after it was reported by BBC that a fee of £82m had been agreed upon with Ajax.

Having initially joined Ajax from Sao Paolo in 2020, Anthony immediately showed potential under Erik Ten Hag.

In his 82 appearances for the Dutch giants, he managed to bag 24 goals and 22 assists, including seven in 11 Champions League appearances.

Chelsea reach agreement to sign Aubameyang

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona.

The Blues have been hunting for a prolific striker this summer to reinforce their attack line following the departures of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku.

Reports suggest the west London club shortlisted Aubameyang for the role and have been pushing to land the Gabonese striker before the transfer window shuts.
