DONE DEAL: Oxford boss Robinson happy signing Nottingham Forest forward Konate

Oxford United have signed Nottingham Forest forward Ateef Konate on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals in his past eight games for Forest's under-21 side and was voted October's Premier League 2 player of the month.

The former Le Havre academy player made three appearances for Forest's first-team last season.

"His scoring record this season is excellent," Oxford manager Karl Robinson told the club website.

"He can play all across the front line or as a 10, he is fast, very skilful and really exciting to watch."
