'A very canny signing' - Nottingham Forest sent transfer message over Fouad Bachirou deal

Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to the emerging transfer rumour linking them with a move for Malmo midfielder Fouad Bachirou.

The Reds are set to seal the signing of Bachirou this week, with reports in Sweden claiming that a £600,000 fee has been agreed.

Bachirou is to undergo a medical ahead of joining up with the City Ground side and when he does sign Reds head coach Sabri Lamouchi will have completed his fourth transfer of the summer.

Bachirou is unknown to most Reds fans, with the former Ostersunds and Greenock Morton midfielder beginning his career at Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Scotland in 2010.

However, Forest fans have issued their verdict on the impending arrival.

"Know him quite well from Scandinavian football," one fan said. "A very hard working player."

"He could be a very canny signing!" said another.
