That is the reason why I came.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;The club is in a good position in the Championship. It is a long time since playing in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a club with a good history and I think, with the staff and players here, they have done a good job but we have to keep going.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is five months left, we have a lot of games so everything is possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about what Forest fans should expect from him, he said: &#8220;I am still young, 23, so maybe I have some experience but I have to prove day after day, game after game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like to dribble with the ball, use my speed, my left foot and to make the difference. I always want to go forward and score goals or give assists. I like good football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"J8dOyfYdRztw-OWVoSkeqQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1185205281\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'J8dOyfYdRztw-OWVoSkeqQ',sig:'fV4Rrc7mMoPf6vvTGvz_O2AvLCBiFapQAc3ZgvshoQs=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1185205281',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huddersfield Town winger Adama Diakhaby has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
