Player who Nottingham Forest sold for £8.75m joins League Two club in permanent move

Former Nottingham Forest winger Arvin Appiah has completed a permanent move to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer. The 25-year-old made his debut for the club, playing over an hour in a 4-1 defeat against Wycombe Wanderers. Manager Steve Evans is now tasked with helping the attacker revive his career in the English Football League.

Nottingham Forest previously sold Appiah to Spanish side Almeria for an £8.75 million fee in 2019. The writer argues that the initial sale now looks like superb business for Forest following Appiah's varied spells across Europe, which included stints with Tenerife, Malaga, and Rotherham United.
