Daniel Munoz has called Nottingham Forest a “winning club” after being reunited with manager Oliver Glasner.
Full-back Munoz, who won the Conference League with Glasner at Crystal Palace last season, has joined Forest from the Eagles in a deal potentially worth £22 million.
The 30-year-old Colombia international has signed a three-year contract with an optional extra year.
Daniel Munoz transfer: What full-back said
“I’m really excited because I can see so much talent,” Munoz told Forest’s website. “Forest is a team with great players, great qualities and great skills on the pitch.
“I can’t wait to get out there so I can help my new teammates… we’re going to do great things.
“The first thing is that this is a winning club. When this is the expectation and the mentality – both for the management and the technical team and for the players – this makes it special.
“It is a club that’s fought hard in recent years, it has competed hard, it got to the semi-finals of the Europa League [last season] and it has even greater objectives for the future.
“Really, this is what I like about Forest. That’s why I decided to come here.”

Forest Chief Football Officer George Syrianos said Munoz had “consistently demonstrated his quality at the highest level”.
“Daniel has performed strongly in the Premier League and in European competition,” added Syrianos. “We believe he has the mentality and ambition to make a significant contribution.”
A 2-2 draw at Liverpool – twice being pegged back by the hosts – gave Forest their first positive result of the season on Saturday, having lost at home to Leeds United in the Premier League and EFL Cup.
Munoz could make his debut at home to Tottenham, who are yet to earn a point, on Saturday (15:00 BST).

The deal sheet must arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes.
For international transfers, clubs also have to comply with the FIFA Transfer Matching System deadline of midnight.

When does the 2026/27 winter transfer window open?
The Premier League winter transfer window opens on Friday January 1, 2027 and closes on Monday February 1, 2027 at 23:00 BST.
Can Premier League clubs sign players outside of the window?
Clubs can only add players outside of transfer windows who are free agents and if they have room in their 25-man squad.
Premier League teams can still announce deals with other clubs, but those players will not be registered to play until the window re-opens.
This means there is usually little to no movement when the window closes, with four months to wait until the window re-opens.
Players can be released by Premier League clubs at any time, but the usual rule is that they cannot sign for another side outside of the market.
