'Fantastic' verdict as Nottingham Forest signing gets seal of approval from old fans

Crystal Palace fans have endorsed Nottingham Forest's decision to recruit 'experienced' midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté, the Reds' 14th signing of a very busy summer transfer window.

Kouyaté joins Forest on a two-year deal after playing for Palace for the past four seasons, amassing 141 appearances for the Eagles. Before he joined Palace, he was at West Ham for four years, and was part of the Senegal team that won the African Cup of Nations last summer.

With 82 international caps, Kouyaté definitely brings versatility and leadership into Steve Cooper's Forest squad as they embark on their first Premier League campaign for 23 years.
