Panama captain Roman Torres led his team out against England today – and he almost moved to this country with Nottingham Forest.

The 32-year-old central defender currently plays for Seattle Sounders in the MLS, but admits he is keen to move to the shores as he looks to impress at the World Cup in Russia.

Torres says he has already come close to moves to England before, including in 2012 when he had a trial during Steve Cotterill’s time in charge at the City Ground.

He suggested Forest were keen to sign him, but a deal could not be thrashed out.

"A good World Cup could help me win a move to Europe,” he said.

"I have had interest from England in the past. Blackpool and Swansea were after me in 2010.

"Then I had a trial with Nottingham Forest in early 2012. Only a disagreement over personal terms prevented a deal.

"Now I want to have a good World Cup with Panama - and then we will see what the future holds for me.”
