Midfielder linked with summer transfer

Nottingham Forest midfielder Fouad Bachirou has been linked with a move away from the City Ground this summer, with Rosenborg said to be interested in the player.

The 30-year-old has been with the club for less than a year, after being signed by former manager Sabri Lamouchi in August 2020, with the player signing a two-year deal at the club.

He has however only managed to make three appearances for Forest since completing the move due to injury.

He was linked with a loan move away from the City Ground during the January transfer window, but a transfer never materialised.

It has now been reported that Bachirou could be set for a move to Norway when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

January target opens up on transfer decision

Nottingham Forest were one of a number of Championship clubs to be heavily linked with a January move for Shamrock Rovers midfielder Jack Byrne during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old impressed during his time in Ireland, leading to much interest in him during January.

Forest, Stoke City and Preston North End were all said to be interested in the midfielder, but he instead opted to join Cypriot club APEOL Nicosia.

The player signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the club, who were then managed by former Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy.

However, just days after completing his move to Cyprus, McCarthy was sacked and replaced by Savva Piursaitidis.
