Nottingham transfer RECAP: Every incoming and outgoing deal Nottingham Forest completed on transfer deadline day

Nottingham Forest’s Transfer Deadline Day Recap: Every Incoming and Outgoing Deal

The January transfer window came to a close yesterday, with Nottingham Forest experiencing a relatively quiet ending to the month’s transfer chaos. Despite being linked with several players throughout the window, Forest ultimately made only a handful of signings and departures on deadline day.

Incoming Deals

Nottingham Forest didn’t seem likely to complete any signings on deadline day, but the club emerged as a potential destination for Tyler Bindon of Reading on Monday morning. Forest eventually completed a deal for Bindon, which saw the New Zealand international defender return to League One on loan. Reading fans were thrilled with the deal, praising Bindon on social media when the announcement was made.

In another surprise move, Forest completed a late loan deal with an option to buy for Manchester City youngster Joel Ndala. This deal marked a rare incoming transfer for Forest on deadline day, and could potentially prove to be a shrewd piece of business for the club.

Outgoing Deals

As expected, Lewis O’Brien departed Forest to join Swansea on yet another loan deal, marking his fourth loan move away from the club since signing in 2022. O’Brien has struggled to establish himself in Forest’s first team, and will be hoping to get more regular playing time at Swansea.

Another unsurprising departure was announced early on deadline day, as James Ward-Prowse was recalled by West Ham. Ward-Prowse had managed only ten appearances for Forest, and his departure will not come as a major surprise to fans.

Youngster Ben Perry also departed on deadline day, joining League One side Northampton Town on loan. Perry has shown promise in Forest’s youth ranks, and will be hoping to gain valuable experience at Northampton.

Emmanuel Dennis joined Blackburn Rovers on loan, marking another outgoing deal for Forest on deadline day. Dennis has struggled to establish himself in Forest’s first team, and will be hoping to get more regular playing time at Blackburn.

Every Player to Leave Nottingham Forest This January

Here is a list of every player to leave Nottingham Forest during the January transfer window:

• Andrew Omobamidele – Strasbourg, loan
• Joe Gardner – Lincoln City, loan
• Lewis O’Brien – Swansea City, loan
• Josh Bowler – Luton Town, loan
• James Ward-Prowse – West Ham United, end of loan
• Tyler Bindon – Reading, loan (incoming)
• Ben Perry – Northampton Town, loan
• Emmanuel Dennis – Blackburn Rovers, loan
• Fin Back – Wycombe Wanderers, undisclosed fee

Nottingham Forest’s Transfer Window Recap

Despite being linked with several players throughout the window, Nottingham Forest ultimately made only a handful of signings and departures on deadline day. The club’s failure to sign a striker, despite being linked with several targets, will likely be seen as a major disappointment for fans.

However, the signings of Tyler Bindon and Joel Ndala could potentially prove to be shrewd pieces of business for the club. Both players have shown promise in their respective careers, and could potentially make a big impact at Forest.

Overall, Nottingham Forest’s transfer window was marked by a mix of disappointment and optimism. While the club failed to sign a striker, they did manage to bring in a couple of promising young players. Only time will tell if these signings will prove to be successful.
