French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo has signed a fiveyear contract with Nottingham Forest, the Premier League club announced on Monday.

According to French media, the transfer paid to ex-club Rennes is believed to be at least 30 million euros ($35 million).

“Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Arnaud Kalimuendo, who joins the club on a five-year deal,” read a statement on the English club’s website.

The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain, before enjoying a breakthrough season at Ligue 1 side Rennes last year when he netted 18 times in 34 appearances in all competitions.

Prior to joining Rennes in 2022, he made five appearances for PSG and enjoyed success during loan spells at Lens -- scoring 21 goals in 65 outings.

“When I heard about the interest from Forest, I was honoured. This is a proud moment for me, joining a team who had a strong season last year and a club with great history,” said Kalimuendo.
