Notts County sign striker Traore from Fredrikstad
Notts County have signed forward Mai Traore from Norwegian club Fredrikstad for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old from Guinea has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the option of another year in the club's favour.
Traore first moved to Scandinavia when he joined Swedish club Vasalunds IF and he scored 23 goals in 29 games in 2020, leading to a move to Norway with Viking FK.
He joined Fredrikstad last January and has played more than 60 games in the Norwegian top flight.
"Mai is a really exciting signing for us, bringing pace, power and an eye both for goals and assists," said Notts director Richard Montague.
"He's very effective in the press, his link-up play is strong and he's left footed, which adds another dimension for us at the top of the pitch.
"While his performances in Scandinavia indicate that he's more than capable of making an immediate impact for us, we feel he has huge potential to improve."
Notts are currently third in League Two and at home to Morecambe on Saturday.
