Nottingham Forest winger to line up alongside Real Madrid icon after shock transfer

Nottingham Forest's latest recruits Josh Bowler and Hwang Ui-jo could be set to line-up alongside former Real Madrid left-back Marcelo at Olympiacos.

Bowler joined the Reds on deadline transfer day for a reported fee of £4m after being long targeted by Steve Cooper. Forest attempted to sign the winger in January but failed with their move.

However, the 23-year-old secured his move to the City Ground this week before being loaned out to Olympiacos for the season. The Greek side are the Reds' sister club and have taken Bowler to ensure he receives the correct game time. Striker Hwang joined from Bordeaux this summer and is set to make the same move.

They are now set to link-up with Marcelo at the Karaiskakis Stadium this season. After a surprise link with Leicester City on transfer deadline day, Marcelo is now set to sign a one-year deal with the Greek side.

That's according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there is a "full agreement" in place for the Brazilian to join Evangelos Marinakis' club, with an option for a further season.

The deal is expected to be announced and confirmed "soon", meaning Marcelo and Bowler could make their debut next Sunday against Volos (4:30pm).
