Nottingham Forest have officially confirmed the signing of Ivory Coast captain Serge Aurier.

The right-back is the latest player to arrive at the newly promoted Premier League club.

Forest are hoping to avoid going straight back down, and felt their squad needed a complete overhaul to compete in the top flight.

Aurier, who has spent time in his career at Lens, Toulouse and Paris Saint-Germain, also played for Tottenham in the Premier League and Champions League.

He is still 29, and Forest will be hoping he can offer them a combination of quality and experience in their back line.
