It has been a difficult introduction to the Premier League for Arnaud Kalimuendo (23), who has played just nine league games since signing for Forest last summer. He has also scored two goals for the club in the Europa League.
With Eintracht Frankfurt, currently seventh in the Bundesliga, he will have the opportunity to fight for European places. In recent years, the club on the banks of the River Main have been instrumental in the emergence of young French strikers such as Hugo Ekitike and Randal Kolo Muani.
Kalimuendo takes the place of another French striker, Elye Wahi, who was loaned out to Nice earlier this season.
