Orel Mangala says he is excited to play in front of packed City Ground when Nottingham Forest host West Ham in the Premier League this weekend.
The 24-year-old made the switch from VfB Stuttgart last month becoming Steve Cooper's 12th summer addition. He is raring to go after being handed his first competitive minutes in the Newcastle defeat last weekend.
Mangala came on in the last 15 minutes at St James' Park, replacing Lewis O'Brien. And is now expecting more of the same this weekend in front of a lively atmosphere at the City Ground.
