The Serbian has arrived to add depth in the goalkeeping department.
Vladimir Stojkovic in action
Nottingham Forest have confirmed they have signed a new goalkeeper today. The club announced a deal to bring Serbian international Vladimir Stojkovic from Israeli club Maccabi Haifa to help solve their goalkeeping crisis.
They certainly have got themselves a character.
Stojkovic has played for both Red Star and Partizan Belgrade, which in itself requires a serious amount of gallantry.
He is also a big and imposing character but do not expect an easy ride with the Serbian – who is prone to the odd error and some frustrating antics, especially for the Championship. Erratic would be the adjective.

The 33-year-old keeper cuts an imposing figure at 6 ft 5 ins and has 68-caps for the Serbian national team.
Stojkovic is an experienced stopper, something Forest need at the moment. The club lost their player of the year recently with Dorus De Vries heading to Celtic.
That leaves summer signing Stephen Henderson with little competition for the first-team spot, something Stojkovic will be expected to change.
So what do Forest fans think of the signing?
Here is some of the best reaction from Twitter to the Serbian’s arrival…
