Paul Anderson has become the third new arrival to check into the City Ground this week after Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies completed a £250,000 deal for the young Liverpool winger.

The 20-year-old has penned a three-year deal and joins strikers Dele Adebola and David McGoldrick as new recruits at the Championship club, as former Preston boss Davies looks to build a squad capable of challenging for at least a play-off place next season.

Anderson, who joined Liverpool as a 17-year-old in Janaury 2006 after Rafa Benitez splashed out £1.5million to sign him from Hull City, spent last season on loan at Forest and scored two goals in 28 appearances for the club.

Meanwhile, Dele Adebola, 34, has signed a two-year contract with the club and arrives on a free transfer from Bristol City, where he netted sixteen goals in 56 league appearances following his switch from Coventry in January 2008.

Nottingham-born David McGoldrick has described his move to the City Ground as a 'dream' after Forest agreed an undisclosed seven-figure sum with Southampton for the 21-year-old.

McGoldrick, who was raised in the Wollaton area of Nottingham and began his career with Notts County before joining the Saints as a 16-years-old in 2004, has signed a three-year deal with Forest.

Other players being linked with a move to the big-spending club include Doncaster Rovers defender Matthew Mills, and Preston midfielder Paul McKenna.
