Apostalos Vellios, Jason Cummings and Zach Clough spent last season out on loan away from Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest are likely to sell Apostalos Vellios this summer, according to the Post, while Zach Clough and Jason Cummings also appear to be on borrowed time at the City Ground.

Martin O’Neill inherited a bloated squad when he took over from Aitor Karanka in January with a number of out-of-favour players left over from the reigns of Mark Warburton and Philippe Montanier.

Greek international striker Vellios arrived at Forest from Iraklis in the summer of 2016 for a fee of £1 million (BBC) and he was initially a key player for the Championship outfit, scoring six times in his debut season.

But the former Everton youngster was loaned out to Belgian outfit Waasland Beveren last year and, after tallying just four goals in 18 games, it seems he no longer has any sort of future at Nottingham Forest.

Clough and Cummings also spent much of last season away from the City Ground. Clough, a £3 million addition in January 2017, failed to score a single goal in League One during a spell at Rochdale.

£1 million Cummings, however, looked a shadow of the prolific marksman who scored goals for fun at Hibernian during an ill-fated loan spell with Peterborough United and Luton Town.
