Nottingham Forest defender Loic Mbe Soh is reportedly 'close' to leaving the City Ground when the January transfer window opens.
The Franco-Cameroonian has barely had a sniff of first-team action this season, featuring mainly for the U23s' side instead. That's why he is reportedly set for a move back to France as he 'seeks playing time'.
Ligue 2 outfit Guingamp 'would welcome' him on loan for the second half of the season, according to French outlet Le Télégramme. They report that the loan could be confirmed before the end of December.

The Brittany club reportedly want Mbe Soh on loan after their starting centre-back, Pierre Lemonnier, ruptured a cruciate ligament in one of his knees. If a deal is secured in the coming weeks the 21-year-old could start playing for the Red and Blacks from 1 January until the end of the season.
Mbe Soh joined Forest from Paris Saint-Germain in September 2020 for an undisclosed transfer fee and made his debut later that month. But he has struggled for game time in his two years at the club.
The former French youth international has made just 11 appearances in all competitions since his move from PSG. His only senior appearance this season has come in the League Cup when he started in the 3-0 away win over Grimsby.
