Nottingham Forest complete double signing as Reds bolster ranks

Nottingham Forest have completed the signings of midfielder Braian Ojeda and defender Mohamed Drager ahead of the 11pm transfer window deadline.

Ojeda joins from Paraguay Primera Division side Olimpia on a four-year deal while Draper has signed on a permanent switch.

Ojeda has represented the Paraguay national team at U17, U20 and U23 levels, as well as enjoying a loan spell at Defensa y Justicia in the Argentine Primera Division.

Forest boss Chris Hughton said: "Braian is a signing who will give us valuable competition in the central midfield area. He has a good profile as a young player who is keen to progress in the game and is an important addition to the squad.

"I look forward to getting to work with Braian over the international break as we start to prepare for the Cardiff match.”

Drager, meanwhile, has made 18 appearances for Tunisia, scoring two goals.

He started his career at Freiburg in the Bundesliga and also played in the German top flight on loan with Paderborn before joining Olympiakos last year.

Ojeda and Drager become the sixth and seventh signings of Forest's transfer window with US goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, Philip Zinckernagel, Jordi Osei-Tutu, James Garner and Max Lowe having also joined the club.
