Nottingham Forest could be gearing up for a very positive January transfer window.

The Reds and transfer windows tend to fit together like a hand and glove. It’s very rarely quiet, it’s largely chaotic, and January represents another chance for Oliver Glasner to do some business and replenish the squad.

Some fringe players could leave the club, however, and now it’s emerged that one forgotten man is potentially keen to leave England this summer.

Clubs open talks with Forest player John Victor

According to Brazilian sources, Victor is keen to leave Forest in the quest for first-team football, with Vasco da Gama and Flamengo both opening talks with the Reds over a move.

Victor enjoyed a very brief spell in the first team last season when Matz Sels got injured. He played a handful of games in the Premier League and Europa League but got injured against Aston Villa and spent the second half of the season largely sidelined.

The 30-year-old is desperate to get the gloves back on and play regularly at a pivotal point of his career. Clearly, he concedes that his chances of regular minutes at Forest are slim, and he wants to leave in the next transfer window.

Forest will almost certainly be in the market for a new goalkeeper should Victor leave, with Steven Benda the only other option within the squad, and he does feel like nothing more than a backup option for Glasner.

Forest want around £8 million for Victor’s signature, and after nine appearances for the Reds, that would represent a solid sale should the Reds be able to get him off the books in the near future.
