NOTTINGHAM FOREST have a World Cup winner in their squad.
Steve Cooper’s side have added Argentina international Gonzalo Montiel for £9.5million from Sevilla.
The defender, 26, famously scored his country’s winning penalty against France in the World Cup final.
While last season, he showed a cool head to net ANOTHER decisive spot kick as his former LaLiga club edged out Roma in a shootout.
Supporting him along the way is his stunning Wag, Karina Nacucchio.
The busty brunette beauty, 29, joined her boyfriend on the pitch in Qatar and posed with his winner’s medal.
