NOTTINGHAM Forest have taken their spending spree to £5.5 million in the space of 72 hours with the signing of England under 21 striker Ian Moore from Tranmere.

Moore once hailed as the new Ian Rush will train with his new team mates for the first time today after completing a £1 million move from Prenton Park.

Now Birkenhead born Moore will quickly find himself renewing his Merseyside link as Forest tackle Liverpool at the City Ground on Saturday although the likelihood is that he will be on the substitute's bench.
