NOTTINGHAM FOREST have announced ANOTHER new signing after securing free agent Andre Ayew.
The striker, 33, previously worked with boss Steve Cooper at Swansea.
Now he has agreed to link-up with him again at the City Ground to help them try and secure Premier League safety.
Ghana captain Ayew, who will wear the No.42 shirt, said after penning a contract until June: “It’s a great feeling to sign for Nottingham Forest.
“I know how big the club is and I know how much the club means to the city and the fanbase.
“It’s always been difficult whenever I’ve played against Forest and at The City Ground and I love the stadium.

“Steve Cooper is someone who knows me very well and knows how to work with me both on and off the pitch.
“We have a strong relationship, he’s a special coach and a special human being and someone who I really look up to.
“I know what I can bring to the team, I’m ready to give my all and make sure that we are able to stay in the Premier League.”
Incredibly, he is the club’s 30th new signing since they won promotion last season.

Ayew left Qatari club Al-Sadd SC at the end of January after an 18-month spell in the Middle East.
The star, whose brother Jordan plays for Crystal Palace, scored nine goals in 55 Premier League games during his stints at West Ham and Swansea.
He has also racked up 113 caps for Ghana, scoring 24 goals including one at the Qatar World Cup.
Everton, who failed to bring in any additions during January, were hoping to snap him up before Forest usurped them in the transfer chase.
