Tasnim – NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, Nottingham Forest coach Aitor Karanka has praised their new signing Karim Ansarifard.

The 28-year-old striker joined the English side on Saturday an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee.

At club level, Ansarifard spent seven years in the Iranian league before signing for Spanish club Osasuna, where he spent a single season ahead of a move to Greece.

In the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, he scored a late equalizer against Portugal in the group stage.

“Karim is an important signing because he gives us an alternative option,” Karanka said in an interview with nottinghamforest.co.uk.

“He is a very good player, he’ll be a good person in the changing room and he has shown how hungry he is to succeed,” the coach added.
