Gil Dias appears to have played his last Championship game for Nottingham Forest with Evangelos Mariankis reportedly bringing him to Olympiakos.

Nottingham Forest winger Gil Dias has arrived in Greece on Thursday to seal a move to Olympiakos, according to O Jogo.

The Portuguese attacker spent the first half of the season on loan at Forest from Monaco and made a bright start to life at the City Ground, scoring in a Man of the Match performance in August’s 3-1 EFL Cup triumph over Newcastle United.

But Dias struggled to maintain that form and hasn’t hit the net in his other 23 games for the Championship club.

As a result, he has been heavily tipped to leave with a move in recent weeks and it seems that an exit is now all but confirmed.

O Jogo is reporting that Dias is in Greece and could be presented as an Olympiakos player today. This will see him move from one of Evangelos Marinakis’ clubs to the other.

The Portuguese U21 international will join an Olympiakos side desperately hoping to re-establish themselves at the top of the Greek game. Pedro Martins’ team are second in the table, however, eight points adrift of PAOK.
