Nottingham Forest Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Swiss international Dan N'Doye on a five-year deal. The player, previously of Serie A club Bologna, has made 75 appearances for the club since joining in the summer of 2023.  

The 2024-25 season was a remarkable year for Bologna, as the team won its first major trophy in more than 50 years thanks to Dan N'Doye's crucial goal in the Italian Cup final .  

The 24-year-old played in all eight of Bologna's Champions League matches last season, racking up 41 appearances in all competitions and scoring nine goals. Besides his impressive scoring prowess, he was also highly influential in playmaking, providing six assists and ranking among the top six players for dribbling in Serie A in the 2024-25 season.  

Dan N'Doye has attracted attention for his exceptional creativity, speed, technical versatility, and decisive attacking style, and he has accumulated practical experience far beyond his peers. At a young age, he entered the Lausanne Sports youth training system and made his professional debut at the age of 18.  

After ending his time with Nice in France, Dan N'Doye returned to Switzerland and officially joined the traditional Swiss giants Basel in February 2022. He quickly achieved success in this club that won the domestic top league championship 20 times.  

Dan N'Doye excelled during his time at Basel, attracting Bologna's attention with two consecutive seasons of consistent performance. Since making his international debut in 2022, he has gone on to represent Switzerland 22 times, including five matches at UEFA Euro 2024. He started every game in Switzerland's run to the quarterfinals, scoring a crucial goal in their group stage match against Germany.  

The entire club extends its sincere congratulations to Dan N'Doye on his arrival and warmly welcomes him to the Nottingham Forest family. After signing the contract, Dan N'Doye said: "I am incredibly proud to be joining this club. During my time with the team, I felt an extraordinary passion and sense of belonging, and I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it. This is a team with great ambition and a long history, and I can't wait to start this new chapter."
