New Nottingham Forest defender Moussa Niakhate has said that the welcome he has received at the club has been ‘perfect’ after completing a move to the City Ground.
The 26-year-old joined Forest earlier this month from Bundesliga side Mainz, putting pen to paper on a three-year contract with the option of a fourth. At the time, the centre-back was just the fourth new arrival of the summer, and has explained how a conversation with head coach Steve Cooper helped to convince him to make the move.
“First the club, it’s a big club, an historic club and when I spoke to the coach also, it was a good speech and I really appreciate how he speaks,” he told TalkSPORT. “Him and Dane Murphy and directly it was my decision to come here to prove myself and to give my best for the club.”
