Forest sign left-back Moreno on loan from Villa

Nottingham Forest have signed Aston Villa left-back Alex Moreno on loan for the rest of the season, with an option for a permanent deal.

The Spaniard, 31, had fallen behind behind new signing Ian Maatsen and Lucas Digne in the pecking order at Villa Park.

Moreno joined Villa from La Liga side Real Betis in January 2023 in a £13.2m deal and was Unai Emery's first signing, having previously been linked with Forest.

He played in 21 Premier League games last season as Villa finished fourth to qualify for the Champions League.
