Nottingham Forest transfer set to be completed as photo emerges

Nottingham Forest playmaker Joao Carvalho has been pictured arriving in Greece as he looks to complete his move to Olympiacos.

The midfielder is set for the exit door after failing to command a regular place in the starting XI under head coach Steve Cooper.

And Greek media outlet FWS have printed a photograph of Carvalho heading off to complete his move which should be completed before the window shuts at midnight on Monday.

Cavalho has made just eight appearances for the Reds this season and with his first-team prospects looking bleak, his departure has now been reportedly sanctioned.

It is claimed that boss Pedro Martins has given the green light for the transfer to go ahead after initially putting the brakes on the move.

Olympiacos are said to have been keeping tabs on Carvalho for the last three years and have now decided to make their move for the playmaker who joined Forest from Benfica in 2018 for a fee of £12.5million.

Carvalho, a former Portugal under-21 international, was excellent in his first season at Forest, having scored four goals and registered eight assists in 40 appearances.

But his Reds career has stalled in the last year and has struggled to become a regular fixture in the starting 11. He has made just eight apperances this season.

Asked about Carvahlo's future last week, head coach Steve Cooper said: "I don’t know. If anything is close to being in or out, I’m sure the club would notify me at the right time.

“They know my feelings on everything. I trust them now to try to do the best they can."
