What do we think?
If Gabriel can impress while on loan at Scunthorpe United, then upon his return to Nottingham Forest, he has the perfect right-back role model in Matty Cash to help continue his development.
It seems that fans are hopeful that he can become a success at the City Ground once he returns from his loan spell. His new deal looks to be a sign that the club are keen to continue developing Gabriel into a top future talent.
