It is believed that Lewis will think about the move.

The 20-year-old played over 40 games in all competitions for the city last season and recorded two goals and five templates.

However, he slipped behind Matheus Nunes, a midfielder of Handel, in the Hack order in the right -back.

Lewis was even sent against this year’s Club World Championship at this year’s Club World Championship at this year’s Club World Championship against Wydad Casablanca.

The 20-year-old was shown his marching commands in the 88th minute of the 2-0 victory of City when his boot collided with the face of his rival below from a duel.

How good is Nottingham Forest’s Defnece?

If Forest Lewis recruited, the youngster would connect a defense that only conceded two more goals than the city conceded in the 2024/25 campaign.

Pep Guardiola’s team scored 44 goals in the league last season, since the 2009/10 season when they initiated 45.

Forest’s picture of 46 suffered sufficiently to share the Premier League Golden Glove Award, which was awarded to the goalkeeper with the cleanest leaves in one season.

In addition to Arsenals David Raya, the Belgian was a common winner, since both hold 13 clean leaves.

Sels also achieved 120 parades, the fourth most frequently in the top English flight.

Forest’s steel backline was led by Star Center-Back-Pairing Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo because their brute force proved to be crucial to keep the rivals stormy.

If Forest manages to crack Lewis, he would compete with Ola Aina for the starting place in the right -back.

The Nigeria International appeared 31 league appearances for the Reds in the past term and was even mentioned in two Talksport experts Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend’s teams of the season.
