‘Could be a real game changer’ – Many Nottingham Forest fans react to transfer links with 28-year-old

Olympiacos midfielder Kostas Fortounis has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest, as per ENWSI.

The 28-year-old is believed to have fallen out with manager Pedro Martins, with the latter reportedly asking Forest and Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis to send him to the City Ground.

Fortounis has been a standout performer for Olympiacos this season, scoring four goals and registering seven assists in 13 league appearances.

The midfielder has scored 74 goals and added 71 assists in a total of 237 appearances for Olympiacos – a club who Forest know well due to the links with Marinakis and have conducted dealings with in the past.

Fortounis has also made 51 appearances for Greece, picking up plenty of caps for his national side.

With Filip Krovinovic also being linked with Forest, this suggests that Chris Hughton is looking to add an attacking midfielder to his armory.

Here, we take a look at Forest fans’ reactions to the potential addition of Fortounis…

This is an interesting one, as he is considered as one of their far better players.

He is valued at around £8mil on Transfermkt (which can be taken with a bit of salt)

Interesting one this because he’s not really a cast off is he? Just falling out with the manager? I don’t know too much about him if I’m being honest but we’re crying out for a No. 10 & potentially Fortounis could be a real game changer?

70 odd goals & assists in 237 games is different gravy

Hes fell out with his current manager & would only initially be a loan move, course it could happen why not…

You have definitely owned Kostas Fortounis before now

No. Just no. Stop sending us players from olympiakos and let our manager bring in his own players who he wants not who he’s told to
