Nottingham Forest sign Samba Sow from Dynamo Moscow

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of midfielder Samba Sow.

Dynamo Moscow confirmed the departure of the Mali international, wishing him good luck at the City Ground, via Twitter this morning.

And the final pieces of red tape were cleared in England, with Forest agreeing a two-year contract with the player.

Forest have been working hard to put the final pieces of the puzzle in place over the last 24 hours, when it came to securing international clearance for the move.

Sabri Lamouchi had spoken of his desire to add more physical presence to his side in recent days - and Sow will certainly do that.

The Mali international - who has 36 caps for his country - is a defensive-minded midfielder with plenty of experience.

The 30-year-old has played for Lens, Karabukspor, Kayserispor and most recently in Russia, where he has made 42 appearances over the last two seasons, before falling down the pecking order in Moscow.

Forest are thought to be paying a fee of less than £1m for the player, who has one year left to run on his contract.
