Nottingham Forest boss Stuart Pearce has handed new signing Britt Assombalonga a warm welcome to the Championship club.
Forest have signed the talented 21-year old striker from Peterborough United for £5million and the City Ground manager is confident he will easily repay the modest fee with his quality and brilliance.
"At that price tag, he was an absolute snip," Pearce told the Nottingham Post.
"You only have to work with the lad for a short space of time to realise what sort of character he is. He is a boy who is desperate to do well and desperate to improve.
"He came with a good scoring record and a good reputation. They spoke very highly of him at Peterborough and I know why they did now, having worked with him.
"He is an outstanding kid. I don't think he is content with where he is, with regard to the standard of football.
"He knows he can only get better and this is a fantastic club for him to get better at.
"We just hope that his form and ability keep growing and that it takes this club into the Premier League."
During his time with Peterborough, the former Watford and Southend United man netted 33 times in 58 appearance in all competitions including 23 in 43 League One outings.
