HITC – NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, Karim Ansarifard could finally move to Nottingham Forest after two months of speculation over a switch to the City Ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karim Ansarifard to Nottingham Forest is back on.<\/p>\n

The Iranian striker has been heavily linked with a move to the City Ground since being released by Olympiakos at the end of the summer transfer window. But a move that seemed all-but inevitable is yet to happen with the trail growing cold in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

But reports in the Mail claim that Forest could finally see a breakthrough this week.<\/p>\n

It is stated that Aitor Karanka\u2019s side are hoping to finally gain clearance on a work permit in the coming days, potentially bringing an end to a transfer saga that has rumbled on now for almost two months.<\/p>\n

It seems that work permit issues were the only thing standing in Forest\u2019s way of signing Ansarifard at the start of September.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old\u2019s potential arrival could be a welcome boost to Karanka\u2019s side. Ansarifard is a proven goal-scorer who netted 18 times for Olympiakos during a spell in the Greek Superleague last season.<\/p>\n

He also scored for Iran at the World Cup and has 66 caps for his country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
