Nuno da Costa is leaving Nottingham Forest after just nine months at the City Ground, with DH reporting that the striker is set to join Belgian outfit Mouscron.
It is fair to say a man who moved to the City Ground in January as a £1.8 million competitor for Lewis Grabban will not depart to a whole lot of fanfare.
Da Costa failed to score in seven Championship games under Sabri Lamouchi.
At least, not at the right end.
It was his 96th-minute own goal that robbed Nottingham Forest of a play-off place in humiliating fashion during a stunning final day collapse at home to Swansea City in July.
After falling even further down the pecking order behind summer signing Lyle Taylor, reports from the continent suggest that Da Costa has played his final game in Garibaldi red after less than a year in the East Midlands.
A forward who scored eight Ligue 1 goals for Strasbourg as recently as 2018/19 is set to join Excel Mouscron on loan with an option to buy.
It might not be a permanent departure but the smart money suggests that Forest have seen the last of Da Costa.
