Armand Traore is reportedly on his way out of the City Ground with Championship giants Nottingham Forest seemingly set to get rid.

Armand Traore might have played his last game for Nottingham Forest, despite the ongoing left-back problems at the City Ground.

Along with the sidelines Juan Fuentes, Traore is the only natural left-sided defender in Forest’s current squad with deals for the likes of Fabio and Tyrone Mings far from coming to fruition.

The 28-year-old Senegal international spent the second half of last season on loan at Cardiff City, featuring three times en route to their return to the Premier League. But it seems that a return to Nottingham Forest might not come to fruition.

Because Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor have been in contact with Traore, who is understood to be interested in a potential move across the continent.

It is understood that Antalyaspor will now attempt to begin negotiations over the signing of the former Arsenal and Juventus defender.

Traore has just one year left on his contract at the City Ground so it is not likely that Forest will make much money from a player they signed from Queens Park Rangers back in 2016.

But should he leave, Forest manager Aitor Karanka will have to step up his interest in a new left-back due to the gaping hole in the Spaniard’s squad.
