Keylor Navas has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season in a deadline-beating move from Paris St Germain.
The three-times Champions League winner will provide experienced competition for goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is currently sidelined with a thigh injury.
That means Navas, 36, could make his debut against Leeds on Sunday provided all the relevant paperwork has been finalised.
Nottingham Forest have completed the loan signing of PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas
The 36-year-old will provide competition and cover for injured Forest keeper Dean Henderson
The deal for the Costa Rica international was off yesterday and Forest had discussed his teammate Sergio Rico and Sampdoria's Emil Audero. However an agreement has now been completed and Navas has joined the club.
It comes as Steve Cooper's side desperately search for a replacement after first-choice keeper Dean Henderson picked up a thigh injury earlier this month.
The manager said at time that Henderson, who is on loan from Manchester United, would be out for around five weeks.
Navas is hugely experienced and won the Champions League three times during his five seasons with Real Madrid.
Navas's deal with Steve Cooper's side had looked to be off before it was resurrected
He has fallen out of favour in Paris this season following the emergence of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 36-year-old, who has picked up 110 caps for Costa Rica, could be an excellent addition for the Tricky Trees as they look to continue their recent surge up the Premier League table.
They have already risen to 13th and reached the EFL Cup semi-finals but will face a tough test in their next outing against an improving Leeds side.
Cooper's side have already added midfielder Danilo, playmaker Gustavo Scarpa and forward Chris Wood to their squad in the winter transfer window, in addition to the 23 players they signed following promotion last summer.
Additionally, Forest have completed a £2m deal for defender Felipe from Atletico Madrid and announced the signing of midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle on a two-and-a-half year deal shortly after the 11pm deadline.
