New Nottingham Forest midfielder Ibrahim Sangare expressed his delight at signing for the club.

The 25-year-old secured his Premier League arrival on deadline day from PSV Eindhoven.

Having been linked to clubs vying for Champions League spots in the past, Sangare does not believe he has taken a step down in his career.

"I feel good, happy, I already feel at home here," Sangare said to in-house media at Forest.

"I've said to myself that after the interest the club has shown in me for so long - so many years have elapsed - I'm really glad to be here now, happy to face the challenges that lie ahead.

"I'm the kind of person who likes to take on new challenges. The interest the club had been showing in me and the ambition around the club, it was those factors which pushed me to sign."

He added on the fans welcoming him to the club: "It's heart-warming to know that. I'm really happy to be here, and I'll be doing everything I can to repay that belief in me and to give the fans a lot of pleasure with how I play."
