£10m player says he needs to become much more intense if he’s going to make it at Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest midfielder Gustavo Sa stated that he must improve his playing intensity if he is to succeed in the Premier League. The 21-year-old was signed by Forest in a £10 million deal before heading immediately on loan to Olympiacos for the season. Sa acknowledged in an interview with Liga Portugal's Videocast that a lack of intensity was likely why he was not placed directly into the Premier League squad.

Currently playing in Greece, Sa has registered one assist so far while dealing with a minor injury. He affirmed that while he must develop greater intensity, he remains fully confident in his value and capabilities. The versatile midfielder, who can operate as a number 10 or in central midfield, is working toward earning a place at Nottingham Forest once his loan concludes.
