According to Sport24, Nottingham Forest striker Apostolos Vellios is wanted by Olympiacos.

Olympiacos are looking to add Greek players in the summer transfer window, and Vellios is believed to be on their radar.

The striker has not made much of an impact at the City Ground this season, with just eight league appearances to his name.

Vellios has actually been used fairly regularly by new manager Aitor Karanka, but generally as a substitute rather than a starter.

And Olympiacos are now hoping that Forest will be open to selling Vellios at the end of the season.

The Reds will be under no illusions that they need to increase their fire power in the next transfer window, as they have not scored a goal in their last six league matches.

And Vellios’ sale could help Karanka raise some funds for his planned additions at the City Ground, with the Spanish boss surely keen to strengthen his squad.
