Big Signing - Rafik Djebbour to Nottingham Forest - Undisclosed

Rafik Djebbour has played 29 games for international side Algeria, and scored 5 goals for them. He was signed today for two and a half years, with an undisclosed fee. Rafik was signed from Greek side Olympiacos who he played 59 games for and netted 39 goals. From 2008-2011 he played for A.E.K Athens and again preformed well in front of goals scoring 22 goals in 58 games. He was nearly signed by Forest in summer, however things accordingly broke down due to a problem with his medical.

I believe he is a fantastic signing for Forest. He has played for a big team in the top league in Greece and scored an impressive amount of goals. On top of this Rafik has not only international experience and World cup, but aswell Champions League with Olympiacos. He could make a massive difference to Nottingham Forest, it seems like a place to improve if any aswell for the Championship side.

Newcastle & Paris Saint Germain agree deal for Yohan Cabaye

Newcastle United have accepted an offer for Yohan Cabaye that starts at £19 million and could rise to £20 million, Manchester United were also rumoured to be interested in the midfielder.

Manchester United will have to make a quick response to this if they want to remain in the race to sign the French International, after rumours of them wanting to bring in another midfielder in this month after one of there worst seasons in 24 years.


Big Signing - Michael Essien to AC Milan - Undisclosed

Michael Essien officially signed for Italian side AC Milan today for an undisclosed fee and a contract 17 months long. Michael was on loan to Real Madrid last season, as he struggled to get into the team at Chelsea. When he returned from loan Jose Mourinho joined him as he was appointed as the new Chelsea manager, following the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo. Jose described Michael as his son in a recent interview and returned by Michael naming him Dad. However it didn't come as a huge shock that the previous record signing for Chelsea in 2005 announced interest in a possible move to the Serie A team.

Although Essien was told he could happily stay at the club if he wanted to by Jose Mourinho he felt a move permanently would be best for him. The Ghanaian international, I believe, is a fantastic signing for AC Milan and as positive a move as it is for Michael himself as he deserves regular game time at a top team. He plays his position really well and I believe he will be an important member of the Milan team.

Lewandowski is said to have wanted to switch to Munich for a while now and join ex-team mate Mario Gotze who left last April. After not coming to terms on a new contract with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern snapped up this deal for no fee at all other than his five-year contract.
