Nottingham Forest have signed Paraguayan forward Ramon Sosa from Talleres for £9.3 million.
The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract at the City Ground after scoring 17 goals and providing 13 assists in 56 appearances for the Argentine top-flight club.
Sosa, who can also play as a winger, has earned 14 caps for Paraguay and impressed in the recent Copa America.
“Ramon has been coveted by many clubs but was so clear in his desire to join Nottingham Forest,” said Ross Wilson, Forest’s chief football officer.
“We could all feel his energy, emotion, pride and excitement to be here from the first minute he arrived.
“He can’t wait to get started and we are delighted that he is here with us.”
Sosa began his career in his native Paraguay, where he won the Copa Paraguay with Olimpia in 2021 before moving to Argentina.
An impressive debut season with Gimnasia, featuring six goals and seven assists, led to his transfer to Talleres.
Sosa joins Nottingham Forest just ahead of their Premier League opener at home against Bournemouth.
His signing follows Forest’s recent acquisitions of fellow winger Jota Silva, midfielder Elliot Anderson, defenders Nikola Milenkovic and Eric da Silva Moreira, and goalkeeper Carlos Miguel.
