‘Another off the wage bill’ – Many Nottingham Forest fans react as player moves closer to exit door | OneFootball

Another departure looks set to take place at Nottingham Forest with Fouad Bachirou closing in on a move to Cyprus.

Bachirou joined Forest from Malmo last summer, but was limited to only three appearances in all competitions last season due to injury.

The 31-year-old made only one appearance in the Championship, too, which came as a 32-minute substitute cameo against Barnsley in January.

A quartet of Forest players are understood to have been told to find a new club, with Bachirou among those. Gaetan Bong, Carl Jenkinson and Harry Arter are also consigned to the bomb squad and look set to leave.

According to Sport FM, Bachirou is now close to leaving Forest and completing a move to Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia.

It isn’t said whether a move would be a loan or permanent one, but with only a year left on his contract at the City Ground, a permanent switch is most likely.

Forest have made only one signing so far this summer, with goalkeeper Ethan Horvath joining on a three-year deal.

It may take a couple of departures to free up the wage bill to allow Chris Hughton to make further additions, therefore Bachirou’s exit would be a positive one.
