“Fantastic” £40k-a-week Nottingham Forest ace now set to leave within weeks
da 888casino: A £40k-a-week Nottingham Forest player is now set to leave in the January transfer window, having fallen down the pecking order at the City Ground.
Dyche heading into first transfer window as Forest boss
da roleta: Sean Dyche has overseen a fantastic turnaround since replacing Ange Postecoglou in the dugout, with his side moving five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone, courtesy of the emphatic 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
The Tricky Trees now have some breathing space in the relegation battle, but with the January transfer window just around the corner, Dyche will be presented with his first opportunity to make changes to the squad he inherited, in a bid to continue the charge up the table.
Some departures could be on the cards, with it being revealed that Arnaud Kalimuendo wants to leave, amid a lack of game time since arriving in the summer, and another little-used player could be set to follow the forward out of the exit door.
That is according to a report from Africa Foot (via Sport Witness), which states Willy Boly is now set to leave Nottingham Forest within a matter of weeks, given that the 34-year-old will need to find a new club in January if he is going to stand a chance of making the Ivory Coast World Cup squad.
Boly has just six months remaining on his £40k-a-week contract, and Forest have now decided not to offer him fresh terms, which means a winter departure could now be on the cards.
Losing "fantastic" Boly won't be major blow for Forest
Once lauded as “fantastic” by West Ham United boss Nuno, the Ivorian is vastly experienced in the Premier League, making 126 top flight appearances, but he is now a bit-part player for Forest, having made just two appearances in all competitions this season.

As such, losing the 34-year-old next month wouldn’t be a major blow, particularly considering Dyche’s side have been solid from a defensive point of view as of late, keeping three clean sheets in their last five Premier League matches.
Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic have formed a solid partnership at the back, with the centre-backs being hailed for the part they played in helping Forest reach the Europa League last season.
Boly leaving Forest in the January transfer window may be best for all parties, considering the defender is clearly surplus to requirements, and needs to receive game time more regularly if he is going to make a late push for the Ivory Coast World Cup squad.
