Midfielder Marcus McGuane has completed a move from Nottingham Forest to Oxford United.
The former Barcelona and Arsenal man spent this season on loan at the League One club and has now joined on a permanent basis, for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal.
McGuane had a year left to run on his contract at the City Ground after he signed from Spanish giants Barca in February 2020.
He leaves without making an appearance for the Forest first-team, but had made a positive impact in his 21 appearances for Oxford before a thigh injury ended his campaign early.
Before his signing was confirmed, Oxford boss Karl Robinson spoke of his admiration for the player.
“Everyone knows how much I want him back here. He wants to be back here as well.
“We’re working extremely hard and hopefully we can have some news on him.
“He’s certainly a player that we know the owners want.
“We know Notts Forest are happy with it and we’re happy with what we think we can get out of the deal.
“Hopefully in the next seven days we can have some news.”
