Striker Hwang Ui-jo came close to signing for American club Minnesota United before his move to Nottingham Forest was agreed.
The South Korea international joined the Reds from Bordeaux last month, as one of 22 new arrivals in a busy few months at the City Ground. He immediately went out on loan and will spend the season in Greece with fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned side Olympiacos.
However, Forest were not the only team interested in Ui-jo this summer. Minnesota also made a push to secure his signature.
