Transfers are hard to complete on the final day of the window. So many nearly happen, and then in the days following there are post-mortems explaining what went wrong, with sources usually sending blame one way or another.

That’s even for relatively straightforward deals, so difficult ones are even harder.

This is a problem Nottingham Forest are facing right now, report L’Equipe on Thursday afternoon.

It’s explained the Championship club are keen on signing Sada Thioub.

He’s a 23 year old attacker currently playing for Nimes.

However, the transfer is ‘very complex’ and L’Equipe don’t sound overly optimistic about Nottingham Forest’s chances.

If the late transfer for the attacker fails, then all isn’t lost, and the article goes on to explain that eyes would then turns towards the summer, with Nimes and the English club having plenty of time to agree a deal in advance.

Thioub has played 21 Ligue 1 games so far this season, playing on the right of Nimes’ attack, and has two goals and three assists.
