Nottingham Forest have made a third new signing ahead of the return to the Premier League, by securing defender Giulian Biancone, who joins from French Ligue 1 team Troyes on a three-year contract.
Biancone, 22, started his career at Monaco and made his senior debut as an 18-year-old in the Champions League before joining Cercle Brugge in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League for two years on loan.
Biancone was subsequently signed by Troyes for the club’s return to Ligue 1 last season and made 33 appearances to help the club retain a place in France’s top tier. Biancone has also represented France at under 19s level.
