Galatasaray have signed Nottingham Forest fullback Serge Aurier.

Aurier has joined Gala in a permanent deal.

The defender had struggled for regular minutes with Forest this season after arriving at the City Ground last season.

Former Tottenham fullback Aurier had returned to England after a spell with Villarreal.

Galatasaray lead the Super Lig standings, three points clear of Fenerbahce, and are also through to the play-off round of the Europa League.
