Nottingham Forest sign Bolton Wanderers striker Zach Clough

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of striker Zach Clough from League One side Bolton Wanderers on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

The 21-year-old was reportedly the subject of a £2m bid from Forest earlier on transfer deadline day but the Trotters were said to have turned down the big-money deal for one of their key players.

In a statement confirming the news, Bolton said: "Everybody associated with Bolton Wanderers would like to thank Zach for his efforts during his time with the club and wish him the very best in his future endeavours."
