Gillingham have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of Gambian striker Lamin Sillah, who arrives at Priestfield on a season-long loan from Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
Reports on social media had linked Gillingham with a move for the Forest youngster, who has been a regular part of the club's Under-21s side.
The pacy front man arrived at Forest from Greek side Olympiacos, where he netted nine goals and assisted for five more in 17 Under-19 Super League appearances in Greece.
