Andre Ayew was without a club following his exit from Qatari outfit Al Sadd; Sky Sports News understands Ayew is included in Forest’s squad list of 25 that was submitted to the Premier League on Thursday afternoon; Ayew was reportedly also interesting Everton on Transfer Deadline Day.

Ayew joins on a contract until the end of the season and has been included in Forest’s squad list of 25 that was submitted to the Premier League on Thursday afternoon, but there is no place for Lewis O’Brien, whose loan move to Blackburn collapsed on Transfer Deadline Day.

Ayew, who scored 35 goals in 84 appearances under Forest boss Steve Cooper at Swansea, was reportedly also interesting Everton on Transfer Deadline Day.

The 33-year-old forward was without a club following his exit from Qatari outfit Al Sadd and is delighted to reunite with Cooper.

“It’s a great feeling to sign for Nottingham Forest,” he said. “I know how big the club is and I know how much the club means to the city and the fanbase. It’s always been difficult whenever I’ve played against Forest and at The City Ground and I love the stadium.

“Steve Cooper is someone who knows me very well and knows how to work with me both on and off the pitch. We have a strong relationship, he’s a special coach and a special human being and someone who I really look up to.

“I know what I can bring to the team, I’m ready to give my all and make sure that we are able to stay in the Premier League.”
