Scouting Report: Matty Cash

It is becoming increasingly common to see wingers reinvent themselves as fullbacks, with Alphonso Davies and Bukayo Saka both enjoying terrific breakthrough seasons after making the switch from attack to defence (although Saka has recently established himself in a more attacking role for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal).

The pair have established themselves as two of the most promising youngsters in world football but they aren’t the only wingers-cum-fullbacks who are excelling this season - Matty Cash has thrived as a makeshift right back for Nottingham Forest.

Manager Sabri Lamouchi’s brave decision to convert Cash to a full back is proving to be a masterstroke, as his energy and impetus on the right flank has helped Forest mount a promotion charge. He is one of the hottest prospects in the Championship and has attracted interest from far and wide, as well as being on the radar of the Polish national team.
