Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Adlène Guedioura has revealed that he ‘tried everything’ to return to the club on a loan deal from Crystal Palace during his first season with the club.
The Algerian was a fan favourite at the City Ground after arriving from Wolves, initially on loan, in January 2012. The temporary deal was made permanent the following summer.
But the player was with Forest for just another year before Crystal Palace came calling, his performances earning interest from the Premier League club. He completed a move to Selhurst Park in the summer of 2013, but says it’s a move that he made reluctantly having failed to help Forest into the league themselves.
