Nottingham Forest sign right-back Jordi Osei-Tutu
In the ongoing summer transfer window, English Championship team Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Ghanaian defender Jordi Osei-Tutu on a season-long loan move from Premiership side Arsenal.
The Reds have signed the versatile right defender till the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.
Osei-Tutu, 22, has already got a taste of the Championship, having spent time on loan with Cardiff City last season.
Speaking on the Osei-Tutu’s capture, Chris Hughton said: “After bringing in Philip Zinckernagel at the weekend, I am pleased that we are now able to bring in another player of real pedigree in Jordi.
“At 22, he has good experience of coming through the highly regarded system at Arsenal and also plenty of league experience via two loans spells.
“His spell at Bochum was particularly impressive and he is another player who gives us some flexibility and options.
“He is a highly thought of young player and adds to the competition for places that we’re seeking in this window.”
The player also expressed excitement after signing the deal, saying: “I’m delighted to sign for such a historic club and I can’t wait to see the fans for the first time.
“Everything about the club attracted me and the manager, Chris Hughton, is great and I’m excited to get started.
“It’s really important for me to get my head down now and it’s good to know that I’m here for a full season and I want to show everyone what I can do.
“I know what to expect in the division, it’s a very tough and physical league but I’m ready for the challenge ahead.”
