Have Championship outfit Nottingham Forest signed goalkeeper Marios Siampanis from Greek Super League giants Olympiakos?
There’s something strange going on at Nottingham Forest.
If you look through the list of players on their website, you’ll see a name you don’t recognise. Alongside Aro Muric, Brice Samba and Costel Pantilimon is a profile of a goalkeeper without an official club photo or any information about his background or his career.
All we have is a name; Marios Siampanis.
A big of digging suggests that the mystery man is a 19-year-old shot-stopper who most recently played for Olympiakos in Greece.
And, to make things even more intriguing, Siampanis posted a photo on his official Instragram account three weeks ago of himself posing in a Nottingham Forest training top.
After a busy summer in which Forest brought in a new manager and 12 new players, have they completed a 13th without letting anyone know? It certainly seems like it.
Now, Forest certainly have a history when it comes to signing Olympiakos players outside of the transfer window. Evangelos Marinakis owns both clubs after all and this time last year Karim Ansarifard and Panagiotis Tachtsidis arrived on free transfers after they were released out of the blue by the Greek giants.
Has lightning struck for a third time?
