Goalkeeper Brice Samba has completed a move to Ligue 1 side Lens from Nottingham Forest.
The 28-year-old was at the heart of Forest’s return to the Premier League, saving three penalties in the Championship play-off semi-final against Sheffield United.
Samba, who played 125 times in three seasons at the City Ground, joins the French club on a five-year deal.
“I will never thank you enough,” he told Forest fans on social media.
The Premier League newcomers have already signed Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson on a season-long loan.
Lens finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season and were four points off gaining a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifying stages.
“Everyone at Nottingham Forest would like to wish Brice the very best in his next challenge,” the club said.
