Nottingham Forest made a significant addition to their squad on a bustling transfer deadline day by securing the services of Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos from Benfica, a Premier League club. The announcement of this acquisition was made by Forest on a Friday, adding to the flurry of activity.

Odysseas Vlachodimos, a 29-year-old shot-stopper, was a key figure for Benfica during the previous season when the club clinched the Portuguese title. His commitment to Nottingham Forest extends over a four-year contract, suggesting a long-term investment in his talents.

Vlachodimos brings a wealth of experience to the City Ground, having represented Benfica in a total of 225 appearances across various competitions. Notably, the German-born goalkeeper showcased his prowess in goalkeeping by maintaining 21 clean sheets in 34 league appearances during the previous season.

Ross Wilson, the Chief Football Officer at Nottingham Forest, expressed his excitement about the new addition, saying, "He is very talented and brings an abundance of experience with him, and he will add real competition to our goalkeeping department." This sentiment highlights the club's belief in Vlachodimos's abilities and the positive impact he can have on the team's performance.

In addition to the acquisition of Odysseas Vlachodimos, Nottingham Forest made other notable signings earlier on the same Friday. They secured winger Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea on a three-year contract and also finalized the signing of Nicolas Dominguez, the captain of Bologna, on a substantial five-year deal. These moves underscore Nottingham Forest's commitment to bolstering their squad and enhancing their competitive edge in the Premier League.
