Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Omar Richards from Bayern Munich in a deal believed to be worth around £10 million.
The 24-year-old becomes the fifth new arrival at the City Ground this summer as Steve Cooper recruits in earnest following his side's promotion to the Premier League.
Richards came through the academy at Championship side Reading and only left the Royals last summer to join Bayern, but now returns to England after a year away.
'I've seen a lot of Omar through his time with Reading and, alongside our recruitment team, we have been following his progress in Germany,' Steve Cooper said.
