Karim Ansarifard looks set for Nottingham Forest exit

Karim Ansarifard looks set to become the latest player to leave Nottingham Forest this summer.

The striker, who joined the Reds in November following his release from Olympiacos, is on his way to Qatar to negotiate a potential move.

Ansarifard has only made three starts for Forest, featuring nine times from the bench and scoring twice.

Signed by Forest under the watch of Aitor Karanka, the Iranian struggled for game time with Martin O'Neill in charge, but still scored key goals against Hull City and Queens Park Rangers.

While the club in Qatar remains unnamed, Ansarifard looks set to be making a City Ground exit.

Last month, Hillal Soudani left the Reds to join Evangelos Marinakis' Olympiacos and with Daryl Murphy not a part of new boss Sabri Lamouchi's plans, it looks likely the club will bring in a striker this summer to bolster their attacking options.

Tyler Walker remains with the club.

But the academy graduate has been linked with a move across the Midlands to join League One Coventry City.

Lamouchi's side have already proved to be one of the Championship's most active clubs with their summer bussiness.

Former Aston Villa wide man Albert Adomah became their sixth signing, after Aro Muric, Tiago Silva, Yuri Ribeiro, Alfa Semedo and Sammy Ameobi all put pen to paper.
