Manager Colin Calderwood has heaped lavish praise on Nottingham Forest new-boy Guy Moussi.

The 23-year-old midfielder joined Forest on a three-year deal from SCO Angers, subject to international clearance, on Tuesday.

Moussi was unearthed by scout David Friio, who is based in France, and Calderwood is delighted to sign the youngster.

"He's a strong, physical midfield player," Calderwood told the club's official website.

"He will certainly give us a presence in that department and when I saw him he not only looked comfortable breaking play up, but also looked athletic and strong going forward.

"With Sammy Clingan deciding to leave us, he became a very good option and we're delighted to have him here."
