Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of front man Rafa Mir on a season-long loan deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 22-year-old striker is the Reds’ seventh new arrival of the summer, and the sixth since Sabri Lamouchi took charge.
Mir’s arrival comes just days before the start of the new Championship season, with Forest set to open against West Bromwich Albion at the City Ground on Saturday.
The club said in a statement: “Nottingham Forest are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated Spanish International forward Rafa Mir on a season-long loan deal.
“The 22-year-old joins for the 2019-20 campaign from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers, fresh off the back of winning the UEFA Under 21 European Championships with Spain this summer.
“Mir joined Wolves in January 2018 having spent time in the youth systems at Barcelona, Murcia and Valencia, going on to feature in La Liga and the Champions League for Valencia.
“After winning promotion with Wolves to the Premier League the Spaniard spent last season on loan at Las Palmas, scoring seven times before now teaming up with Sabri Lamouchi’s Reds ahead of the Championship opener against West Brom on Saturday.”
Mir follows on from the arrivals of Sammy Ameobi, Tiago Silva, Alfa Semedo, Yuri Ribeiro, Arijanet Muric and Albert Adomah.
