Nottingham Forest sign centre-back Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina

The Serbia centre-back joins Nuno Espirito Santo's side on a five-year contract after he helped his former club to the Europa Conference League final and an eighth-placed finish in Serie A last season.

The towering defender has been capped 57 times for his country and played every minute of their Euro 2024 campaign.

Forest chief football officer Ross Wilson told the club's website: "He is a key part of our squad planning this summer and I know how enthusiastic he has been to join the club."

"We have long admired his performances with the Serbian national team, and in Serie A and European competitions for Fiorentina." 

Forest have also signed Shae Cahill, the son of former Everton and Australia forward Tim Cahill.

The 19-year-old midfielder most recently played for Brisbane Roar in the A-League and will initially join up with Forest's B team.

He told the club's website: "I'm so happy and excited to start this next chapter with Nottingham Forest. I want to thank everyone at the club and my family for supporting me.

"My goals are to train hard and to dedicate myself to being the best I can be, making both my family and the football club proud."
