Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to the official unveiling of midfielder Orel Mangala.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term contract at the City Ground, making the move from Stuttgart. He is the Reds’ 12th new signing of a busy summer window ahead of the Premier League campaign.
A fee in the region of £12.7m is believed to have been splashed out to secure the services of the Belgium international. Crystal Palace and West Ham United had also been credited with an interest in him.
