Nottingham Forest are expected to sanction outgoings as well as incomings this month as head coach Steve Cooper shapes his squad for the second half of the season.
So far, Gustavo Scarpa is the only new addition in the January transfer window, while Loic Bade has headed in the opposite direction. The former joined on a free transfer from Palmeiras, linking up with the squad last month ahead of his contract officially kicking in. Bade, meanwhile, never made a competitive appearance before his loan from Rennes was cut short and has since signed for Sevilla.
The young defender is unlikely to be the only player to leave the City Ground before the month is out. The Reds are already at the limit of their permitted 25-man Premier League squad, and with the club looking to strengthen, that will require some players having to make way for any new arrivals.
