Nottingham Forest cashing in on this lacklustre trio would be ideal – including this £2.5m flop
Why Nottingham Forest should cash in on Hefele, Clough and Yacob
According to The Mirror (4 December, Page 49), Nottingham Forest could part ways with the out-of-favour trio of Zach Clough, Michael Hefele and Claudio Yacob in January, with neither of the players kicking a ball for the Reds in the Championship this season.
Nearing the halfway mark in the season, the two-time European Champions are currently placed 5th in the standings.
As per the report from The Mirror, club-owner Evangelos Marinakis is expected to sanction a few arrivals during the mid-season trading period to allow manager Sabri Lamouchi to bolster his ranks heading into the second half of the campaign.
However, the likes of Hefele, Clough and Yacob are expected to make way for new arrivals.
The Reds must raise some valuable funds in a bid to facilitate reinvestment and improve several areas of their squad and the out-of-favour trio should be sacrificed for that purpose.
All the three aforementioned players have been frozen out of the first-team picture by Lamouchi and if the recent transfer development is anything to go by, it might be fair to say that they have played their last game for the Reds.
Hefele, who came through the door at the City Ground from Huddersfield Town back in the summer of 2018, made 18 appearances for the Reds in all competitions last season. He currently finds himself way down the pecking order under Lamouchi.
Veteran Michael Dawson has been joined by academy graduate Joe Worral, who returned from his loan spell at Rangers earlier in the summer, with the duo playing a key role in Forest’s surge up the standings.
With summer recruit Chema Rodriguez and Tobias Figueiredo proving themselves as able back-ups for the regular centre-back pairing of Dawson and Worrall, Michael Hefele and Alexander Milosevic have been forced to gather dust at the City Ground this term.
Claudio Yacob, on the other hand, has also found himself out of the picture this season after playing a substantial role for the Reds the last term, following his move from West Brom in the summer of 2018.
With Ben Watson and Tiago Silva establishing themselves as mainstays in the middle of the park under Lanmouchi and the likes of Alfa Semedo, Ryan Yates and Samba Sow also in the mix for a role in the midfield, the 32-year-old Argentine has cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines.
Zach Clough, a £2.5 million recruit from Bolton Wanderers back in January 2017, has never really shown signs of living up to his hefty price tag at the City Ground.
The attacking midfielder, who found himself farmed out on loan to his former club during the 2017-18 campaign and spent time on loan at Rochdale in League One last season, has failed to force his way into Lamouchi’s plans.
To put things into perspective, Nottingham Forest’s decision to get rid of their out-of-favour trio in January certainly makes perfect sense.
Lamouchi brought in more than 10 players in the summer to add to a squad that already looked quite massive on paper and it is high time for the Reds now to balance the books.
Hefele and Clough are contracted to the City Ground until the summer of 2021 while Yacob will be out of contract in 2020. Given that it has been pretty clear from Lamouchi’s team selection that neither of them is in his plans moving forward, cashing in on them could be the right course of action.
A new centre-forward continues to be a top priority for Forest in January, as evident from their links with Newcastle United hitman Dwight Gayle (h/t The Telegraph).
Offloading the three aforementioned players would free up some significant space, as well as some valuable funds, required to sanction a big-money move for the striker.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
