Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has sent an emotional message to Reds supporters ahead of his imminent transfer to Lens.
The 28-year-old is understood to have had a medical today ahead of signing a contract at the French club, bringing to an end three years at the City Ground. Samba is believed to have turned down the offer of a new contract from the Reds.
After a string of impressive performances during his time as a Forest player, Samba will be most fondly remembered for his penalty saves in the play-off semi-final shootout against Sheffield United at the City Ground in May. His performances throughout the season, and in the final, were key to the Reds earning promotion.
