USMNT star Gio Reyna reveals his Premier League idols after netting move to 'best league in the world' with Nottingham Forest loan

The 21-year-old is gearing up for his Premier League debut for Nottingham Forest after joining from Borussia Dortmund on loan before the end of the January transfer window. The English-born USMNT player hailed the Premier League as the best and most entertaining and selected two City figures as his role models.

Asked who is Premier League idols were, he told club media: "I always used to watch Man City growing up. I used to love Samir Nasri. I think he was an amazing player and you know I try to take bits of everyone's game, but Samir Nasri and Kevin De Bruyne now."

Reyna moves to the City Ground for the rest of the season in an attempt to get more playing time between now and the end of the season. He racked up only 271 minutes across 11 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund this term and is fighting for a place in the USMNT's Copa America 2024 squad.

The attacking midfielder and winger could make his first appearance for Forest when they take on Bournemouth on Sunday. They currently sit 16th in the Premier League table and just two points above Everton, who occupy the last relegation spot.
