The 30-year-old has been a staple for the Algeria international team, having earned 40 caps for the senior side.
This addition represents a statement of intent from Aitor Karanka, who obviously has Premier League promotion firmly within his sights.
OPINION
It is clear to see why these fans are so happy, as Soudani is a quality player who has a natural habit of finding the back of the net. Forest’s chances of moving towards the play-off places have been dramatically boosted by this addition, and the fans have gone into meltdown. The forward bagged 18 goals last season alone whilst playing for Dinamo Zagreb, which is an impressive stat, and shows the Forest faithful just what they can expect at the City Ground next season. This is a nice piece of business from Karanka, and it is just what the fans have been asking for.
