From Brazil: Nottingham Forest player wants out, January transfer now looks likely

Brazilian goalkeeper John Victor wants to leave Nottingham Forest in January after limited Premier League opportunities; Cruzeiro and Flamengo are monitoring the situation.

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper John Victor is keen to depart the club in January after struggling for opportunities in the Premier League, making just five appearances last season. The 25-year-old Brazilian believes his situation is unlikely to improve and has signalled internally that he would prefer Forest to negotiate his exit during the winter window. Cruzeiro held initial talks with Forest earlier, while Flamengo are also monitoring the situation. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti rates Victor highly but wants him playing regularly for his national team ambitions.
