Nottingham Forest awaiting confirmation to find out if they have signed young Olympiacos goalkeeper - reports

Nottingham Forest are awaiting confirmation that deadline day paperwork has gone through for the signing of Greece Under-21 goalkeeper Marios Siabanis, according to the Sun.

The young shot-stopper only joined Olympiacos last month, penning a four-year deal with the club.

But he could now be on his way to the City Ground in a deal that is expected to be a loan move where he'd likely link up with Jimmy Gilligan's Under-23 squad.

Siabanis started his career with Pavlos Melas before joining PAOK as a 15-year-old.

After impressing for his nation at youth level, and turning out twice for his club's first-team, he was signed by Olympiacos on July 1 upon the expiry of his contract.

The 'keeper is one of two deals expected to be completed tonight, pending approval, as the Reds continue in their efforts to sign midfielder John Bostock.

Should the deal go through, Siabanis will become the third goalkeeper to come through the door at the City Ground this window after Forest added Aro Muric and Brice Samba to their ranks.

Meanwhile, after Luke Steele completed his deadline day loan switch to join Millwall, the club will continue to work on finding Costel Pantilimon a new club in the final weeks of the summer.
