    Nottingham Forest's chief football officer Ross Wilson is set to become Newcastle's new sporting director.

    A deal has been agreed for Wilson to move to St James' Park to replace Paul Mitchell.

    The former Tottenham sporting director lasted less than 12 months with the Magpies having replaced Dan Ashworth.

    There was also interest from Newcastle in former Arsenal assistant sporting director Jason Ayto, who has since joined Brighton.

    Wilson also has a close relationship with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.

    The 41-year-old joined Forest in 2023, replacing Filippo Giraldi, and has helped the club into Europe for the first time in 30 years.

    Under Wilson, Forest broke their transfer record several times, with Omari Hutchinson's £37.5m move from Ipswich this summer their current record.

    Wilson also oversaw big outgoings, with Anthony Elanga joining Newcastle in a record sale worth £60m this summer - Forest having signed him for £15m in 2023 - while Brennan Johnson was sold to Tottenham in a deal worth over £45m.

    Wilson was previously sporting director at Rangers and director of football operations at Southampton.

    Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is another beneficiary of Thomas Tuchel's willingness to look outside the usual inner circle of England stars, producing a third successive top-class display in Thursday's 3-0 friendly win over Wales.

    He is used to being at the heart of the action for Forest where, according to Opta, he has completed the most passes in the opposition half (244) and won possession most (47) in the Premier League this season.

    Against Wales, Anderson's constant demands for the ball and his ability to keep England ticking over were hallmarks of his quality. He played 77 passes, 74 successfully, created two chances and regained possession six times.

    Tuchel added: "Morgan [Rogers] and Elliot are humble players and very talented and that is a very good mix."

    The German can now move forward from a position of strength, even stronger than after the win in Serbia, to the World Cup qualifier in Latvia on Tuesday.

    And it will deliver a sharp reminder to Jude Bellingham and others that Tuchel is determined to tread his own path towards next summer's World Cup - with or without the Real Madrid midfielder.

  20. Will Postecoglou 'double down' on football principles?

    BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray does not expect Ange Postecoglou to deviate too far from his core football principles as he searches for his first win in charge of Nottingham Forest.

    Forest have drawn twice and lost their other five matches since the former Tottenham boss succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo at the City Ground in September.

    Speaking on Match of the Day on Sunday, former England goalkeeper Joe Hart spoke of Postecoglou "doubling down" on his philosophy after a difficult start to his reign at Celtic before achieving title success with the Scottish Premiership club.

    On the latest episode of Shut Up And Show More Football, Fray said: "It's a good insight from somebody who has been in the dressing room with Postecoglou. It's informed and insightful comment.

    "And based on what he [Postecoglou] has said since he's been at Forest, it's unlikely you're going to see much change. We have seen change from him slightly; he's gone to a back three, he's done stuff that you perhaps might not expect, and along the way there have been some positives.

    "But he knows more than anybody else that he needs to get a win.

    "I don't think he'll change. To use Joe Hart's words, he'll double down and say 'this is the way, this is what we do', and he will hope that results come along."
