Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba is putting work in ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League in the upcoming season, despite the uncertainty over his future.
The 28-year-old has just one year remaining on his contract at the City Ground with reports that he has turned down the offer of a new deal from the club . It is also reported that the Forest man has told the club that he is keen to move on this summer.
Samba was the hero in the play-off semi-final against Sheffield United as Forest booked their place at Wembley Stadium in a penalty shootout. But it now seems that he won’t be between the sticks for the opening game against Newcastle United.

The goalkeeper was spotted working with former Forest midfielder Guy Moussi on Tuesday, with the fan favourite posting a message reading ‘I get him ready’. Samba has now taken to social media himself to give a further update on his work.
Taking to Instagram, the Forest man wrote: “No time to waste #backatit” alongside pictures of him doing work outside in his Forest gear.
