ChampionshipNottingham Forest have been granted a work permit in their bid to sign Kuwait international keeper Khalid Al-Rashidi. The 25-year-old had a successful trial at the City Ground last summer and would become the first Kuwaiti to play in English football.
The ex-Al Arabi man was refused a visa in the summer after a trial.
"I would like to thank the FA for reaching a positive outcome," chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi told the club website.
"He is excited about the prospect of become the first Kuwaiti to play in English football and helping to spread the name of Nottingham Forest in Kuwait."
