New Nottingham Forest defender Felipe has spoken of his delight at joining the Reds on transfer deadline day.
The 33-year-old has moved to Forest from Atletico Madrid on a one-and-a-half-year deal, bolstering head coach Steve Cooper's defence.
Despite the experienced defender not starting a La Liga game for Diego Simeone's team since early November, he is raring to get going in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest. He could make his debut as early as Sunday, when Leeds visit the City Ground for a Premier League clash.

Felipe is one of three arrivals expected at Forest before the close of play, with deals for Newcastle midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas both expected.
Speaking after his move was confirmed this evening, Felipe said: "It was a dream of mine to play in the Premier League and I’m really excited to be part of this wonderful, fast-growing club.
“You can see it’s a club looking to really grow. It’s a big challenge for me and I made a clear decision to be part of the history here and grow with the club.”
