'Unreal' - Nottingham Forest fans go nuts over Anthony Knockaert signing

Nottingham Forest have completed the loan signing of Fulham winger Anthony Knockaert as Chris Hughton made his first signing as manager.

Hughton managed Knockaert during his reign at Brighton and adds much creativity to a Reds attack that has struggled to score goals this season.

Knockaert has won promotion three times but is yet to feature in the Premier League this season for Fulham.

His arrival is the 14th signing since the end of last season in what has been a lavish outlay on transfers by owner Evangelos Marinakis.

We took to Twitter to see what the fans made of Knockaert's arrival.

Harry Webster: "Brilliant signing. Time to start climbing the table. Chris Hughton’s Red Army!"

Football Index Lover: "Now announce Premier League."

Joseph Burns: "What a signing."

Jake Cheetham: "It's actually happened."

Steve Gibson: "I'm on the cans."

Nick: "Absolutely quality player."

KiaNFFC: "Isn’t it lovely that we’re signing players like this whilst the sheep continue to scrape the barrel."

Sweeney NFFC: "Unbelievable scenes."

Time Added On: "This is a superb signing and strengthens an area of the pitch we needed extra quality."

Hugh Herring: "You are forgiven Anthony for the last minute goal against us on the final day in 2013. Welcome to NFFC."

Sarah: "Finally we make a decent signing who knows the league."

Lucy Kenyon: "Unreal start to the weekend! What a signing."

Dave Holmes: "Great signing, hopefully see him back at his best under Hughton. Top, top winger at Championship level and exactly what we need."
