# Nottingham Forest: Fans react as ‘good news’ emerges on Nicholas Ioannou

**According to [reports by the Cypriot media](https://goal.philenews.com/podosfero/ellada/superleague/mia-anasa-apo-ioannoy-daneikos-apo-ti-notigcham-me-opsion-agoras/), Nottingham Forest defender Nicholas Ioannou looks set to move away from the club as he is allegedly on the verge of completing a move to Aris on loan – with an option-to-buy at the end of the season – if his spell is successful.**

Ioannou, who has started just [five matches for Forest](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/174/Show/England-Nottingham-Forest) in the Championship this season, has been made a surplus-to-requirement figure at the City Ground – with these reports suggesting his exit is all but done.

Manager Chris Hughton remained tight-lipped over these reports when speaking to the press, refusing to comment on any news that his player could be leaving the club after just three months.

The 25-year-old signed on a permanent deal from APOEL FC in the summer, but it now his time with Forest could be coming to an end.

Here’s how Forest fans reacted to this big development.

***“The current transfer/recruitment policy at Forest is dubious at best. The regime have a way of ‘doing things’ which does in no way fit with a forward looking strategy. Today’s news re Ioannou is as outrageous as it is unsurprising.”***
