"Initial talks are said to have taken place through intermediaries, with Forest also recently scouting Setford, according to Football Transfers. Setford has only played two games for the Arsenal first-team, but the 19-year-old has long looked like a big prospect ever since catching the eye at former club Ajax. The Netherlands-born England Under-21 international could do well to think about his future this summer, as he's currently third choice in goal for the Gunners behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga."
"Setford could have a big future in the game, but it currently looks like it will be hard for him to fulfil his potential at Arsenal. With Raya and Kepa ahead of him in the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium, it's hard to see where first-team opportunities are going to come from for the young shot-stopper. Setford could therefore do well to think about joining a club like Forest, who would probably be able to give him a better guarantee of regular minutes."
Nottingham Forest have opened initial talks for Arsenal goalkeeper Tommy Setford and have scouted him, with Football Transfers reporting intermediary contact. The 19-year-old has two Arsenal first-team appearances and previously impressed at Ajax. He is a Netherlands-born England Under-21 international currently third choice behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Limited first-team opportunities at Arsenal make a summer move or loan likely to aid his development. Forest could provide more regular minutes and are reportedly open to a loan deal, which would allow Arsenal to retain the long-term asset while enabling Setford to gain experience.
