Nottingham Forest set to end transfer nightmare 'imminently'

Loïc Bade was recalled from his loan at Nottingham Forest during the international break and will 'imminently' sign for Sevilla, according to a report.

The 22-year-old joined Forest on loan from French club Rennes during the summer transfer window, but did not play a single competitive minute under head coach Steve Cooper.

According to French newspaper L'Equipe, via Get French Football News, he has returned to Rennes during the World Cup break and is set to join a new club - his third of the season.

They say he will "imminently" join Spanish side Sevilla, a seemingly bizarre move for a player who has not been able to get a look-in at both Rennes and Forest.

It has been a strange few months for Bade. An agreement was reportedly made between Forest and Rennes back in October, meaning that Bade would not play a competitive game for Forest. The thinking behind that was to allow him to join another club in January.

FIFA rules state a player can be registered to three clubs during a season, but can only play competitive fixtures for two of those three sides.

Are there any other players you would like Forest to move on next month? Let us know in the comments section...
