Nottingham Forest has signed Switzerland international winger Dan Ndoye from Serie A outfit Bologna in a deal valued around 35 million pounds (46.2 million U.S. dollars).

Ndoye has committed to a five-year contract with Nottingham Forest, stepping in to fill the void left by Anthony Elanga's transfer to Newcastle United earlier this summer.

The winger joins Forest after an impressive season with Bologna, where he contributed six assists and scored nine goals. Notably, his crucial goal in the Coppa Italia final secured Bologna's first major trophy in over 50 years.

"I am really happy to have signed for the club," said Ndoye on the Forest website and he said he was inspired to join the club which will play in the Europa League next season after an impressive seventh place finish in the Premier League.

"It is a really exciting time at Forest, and I knew straight away that I wanted to be a part of the project. It's a really ambitious team with a fantastic history, and I can't wait to get started," he added.
