BIOGRAPHY

A regular presence in Nottingham Forest's squad, M. Sels has made his mark in the Premier League through consistent performances. Originally from Duffel, Belgium, this Belgium international has steadily made his way to the top level. His profile as a goalkeeper is enhanced by his dimensions — 188 cm tall and 75 kg — ideal for the professional game. His ability to come for crosses and deal with long-range efforts is one of his most valuable assets. His transfer from Strasbourg to Nottingham Forest in 2024 for € 8M was one of the most talked-about deals of that window. His trophy cabinet includes Super Cup, Championship among his major honours, evidence of a career built on collective success. The 2025/2026 season provides him with the opportunity to consolidate his status within Nottingham Forest's first team. With his technical ability and competitive drive, M. Sels has many more chapters to write in his professional story.
