Karim Ansarifard’s Future Remains in Doubt in Nottingham Forest
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran striker Karim Ansarifard has not started a Championship game for Nottingham Forest and now Martin O'Neill has brought in Leo Bonatini from Wolves.
It seemed to take forever for Nottingham Forest to conclude a deal for Karim Ansarifard in the autumn. But, after just a few months at the City Ground, the Iranian international is already starting to look surplus to requirements.
The 28-year-old striker arrived on a free transfer in November and, having scored 18 goals at Olympiakos last season, fans were hoping for big things for a player who also netted against Portugal at the World Cup.
But Ansarifard has made next to no impact yet at Forest, playing just 43 minutes of Championship football.
And, worryingly, the man who signed him has since left the club; Aitor Karanka being replaced by Martin O’Neill last month.
