Claudio Yacob only joined Championship outfit Nottingham Forest from West Bromwich Albion in September but he could move to Greece with Olympiakos.
Tigerish, energetic and experienced; on paper, Claudio Yacob looked like the perfect midfielder for Martin O’Neill at Nottingham Forest.
So the fact that he has been frozen out by the former Republic of Ireland boss has understandably left fans baffled. Yacob has not started a Championship game since early February, thanks in part to the emergence of youngster Ryan Yates, but why he is behind the likes of Ben Watson in the pecking order remains a mystery.
Now, Sportime is claiming that Yacob could be on his way after less than 12 months at the City Ground.
The Argentine enforcer only joined on a free transfer in September after being released by West Bromwich Albion. But it is claimed he has emerged as a transfer target for Olympiakos ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Greek giants apparently see Yacob as a replacement for the 54-time Israel international Bibras Natkho, who has struggled since joining from CKSA Moscow in 2018.
If Yacob does leave, this is unlikely to go down very well among Nottingham Forest supporters who have grown to love the former Baggies favourite.
