With the January transfer window now in full swing, Nottingham Forest are still waiting to make their first signing of the window.

Forest have made a promising start to the Sky Bet Championship season under Sabri Lamouchi, but many fans feel as though the Frenchman will need to sign another striker this month to provide some backup for top scorer Lewis Grabban.

The Reds have been linked with several different attacking players already this month - Brighton's Glenn Murray, Aston Villa's Jonathan Kodjia and Newcastle's Dwight Gayle just to name a few - but so far, the club are yet to sign anyone.

The Reds announced yesterday evening that on-loan Wolves striker Rafa Mir has left the City Ground, leading to further speculation that the club might be about to make a new signing.

Therefore, when the club put out a tweet this morning that began with the signing emoji, some Forest fans couldn't help but get excited. However, it was not the announcement that many of them were hoping for.

Instead, the club were showcasing some of the work that the Forest players have been doing within the local community and tweeted a video of them signing shirts for charitable causes.
