£11m Nottingham Forest player now set for City Ground exit, he’s not had a look in under Nuno Espirito Santo

Andrew Omobamidele set to leave Nottingham Forest

With a plethora of central defenders stacking up on Trentside, Forest are now set to offload Omobamidele on a permanent basis during the transfer window.

According to DNA Sports in France, Strasbourg are now going to activate the clause in his loan deal that allows them to sign him on a permanent basis.

Omobamidele from Norwich on transfer deadline day in the summer of 2023, with Steve Cooper bolstering his squad at the eleventh hour.

Intriguingly, Cooper never picked him once before he was sacked in December 2023, before Nuno Espirito Santo started to use him a little bit in the second half of 2023/24.

Last season, Omobamidele wasn’t getting a look in under the Forest head coach and amid the arrival of Nikola Milenkovic and Morato

, he was allowed to join Strasbourg on loan in January.

There, he helped the club qualify for the UEFA Conference League, making 11 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit who are managed by former Derby head coach Liam Rosenior.
