Nottingham Forest are expected to move for a new central defender in the January transfer window, with a loan deal for Loic Bade expected to be cut short, according to reports.
The Reds made a move for the Rennes defender in the summer, with the player joining on a season-long loan on deadline day. He was one of many new arrivals in the summer window as Steve Cooper looked to build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League.
However, since Bade moved to the City Ground he is yet to make an appearance for the club. The closest he has come is being an unused substitute in the Premier League game against Wolves back in October.
