# Leeds: Cody Drameh closes in on Nottingham Forest loan move

**Leeds United youngster Cody Drameh is closing in on a January loan move to Nottingham Forest, according to a fresh rumour which has emerged.**

### The Lowdown: Drameh impresses in youth team

The 20-year-old has been a regular figure in the Whites’ under-23s team in recent times, making [33 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cody-drameh/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/531957/verein/20116) for them to date. Drameh also made his senior Leeds debut back in September, playing against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and making [four appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cody-drameh/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/531957/verein/399) in total for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

A move away makes sense for the youngster, though, in order to gain more first team experience, and a temporary Elland Road exit appears to be on the cards.

### The Latest: Nottingham Forest move beckons

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-nottingham-forest-in-advanced-talks-to-sign-leeds-united-star-drameh/), a Thorp Arch source has claimed that Drameh will join Championship side Forest on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Negotiations are believed to have ‘intensified in the last 24 hours’, as a move looks set to be completed imminently.

### The Verdict: Ideal experience for Drameh

Despite Leeds’ [injury problems](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php) this season, it still makes sense for Drameh to be handed a loan move, as he looks to earn regular playing time at senior level.

The right-back has been [described](https://motleedsnews.com/news/ben-parker-and-tom-hill-hail-cody-drameh-after-goal-for-leeds-under-23s-v-burnley/) as ‘fantastic’ by pundit Ben Parker and he could grow further as a player, gaining invaluable experience in a challenging league.

With Luke Ayling now 30 years of age, Drameh should believe he can be the long-term replacement for the Elland Road favourite – the hope is that he returns to Yorkshire an even more rounded young footballer in the summer.
