Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Armand Traore.

Forest have secured the services of Traore on a free transfer, as announced on the club’s official website on Friday. The defender has signed a three-year contract with the Championship outfit.

The 26-year-old left-back, who can also play as a left-winger, was available on a free transfer following his departure from Queens Park Rangers at the end of last season.

Traore, who played 93 matches for QPR, had not made an appearance for the London club since April 2015.

The defender started his professional club football career at North London side Arsenal. The 26-year-old failed to make much impact at the Gunners and moved to QPR in 2011.

During the 2014-15 season, Traore made 16 appearances in the Premier League for QPR.

The left-back created six chances, had a pass accuracy of 75% and a shot accuracy of 40%, and won 32 headers, six dribbles and 18 tackles.

Forest and QPR fans have taken to Twitter to have their say on the transfer of Traore.
