Antonio eyes Premier League with Nottingham Forest

Michail Antonio is targeting promotion to the Premier League with new club Nottingham Forest.

The 24-year old winger has joined Forest from Sheffield Wednesday on a three-year deal and is eagerly anticipating the upcoming Championship campaign with last season's 11th-placed side.

"I'm really pleased to be here. Nottingham Forest is a massive club, it has great potential to reach the Premier League and, on a personal level, I'm here to better myself as a player and get as far as I can," he told Forest Player.

"Forest have an amazing history and they have been pushing for promotion to the Premier League for the last four or five years. Hopefully now we can get there.

"The fans can expect lots of pace, power and goals from me this season. I'm looking to get my head down, stay fit and show the Forest fans what I can do."

Nottingham Forest kick-off the 2014/15 Championship season with a home fixture against Blackpool this Saturday, August 9.
