After recalling the winger from his time at K.V. Kortrijk, Nottingham Forest must now decide what to do with him moving forward.
Mighten, 21, played 12 appearances in the first half of this season after receiving permission to go to Belgium during the previous summer transfer window.
In order to further X’s development, Sunday Mirror writer Witcoop now says that Forest “expects” to move him to a team in England for the balance of this season.
Because Nottingham Forest has so many options available to them at his position, Mighten’s chances of making the starting XI in the Premier League are minimal.
Furthermore, it’s unclear if he is a part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s long-term goals for the City Ground now that he replaced Steve Cooper.
Thus, it would be in everyone’s best interests to have another loan exit this winter to an EFL team. At his age, Mighten ought to be participating in regular senior football.
The man was born in the USA, and his contract is good until 2025, so Forest may still have him in the future. He has limited time, therefore he must demonstrate his value.
Before making his debut in the first squad of Forest in 2019, Mighten progressed through the academy system and was a consistent player for them at several young levels.
He has contributed four goals to the Reds’ total of 67 appearances to this point. The attacker was a member of the team that was promoted to the premier league in 2022.
He was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday in League One during the previous season, and he may be heading out again soon.
