Nottingham Forest may have dodged a bullet regarding a possible summer signing.
The City Ground club were linked to Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord throughout the transfer window.

However, they could not get a deal done for the 23-year-old, who has since sustained a thigh injury.
In addition, ex-Red Pierre van Hooijdonk suggested Giminez might have struggled in English football.
“I also understand perfectly well why he didn't go to Nottingham Forest, because he doesn't keep a single ball there, against those bears in the Premier League,” Van Hooijdonk told Voetbal Primeur.
"I'm not writing Gimenez off, absolutely not, because he also benefits from a good team around him, then he can also excel. But at the moment it's just not enough.”
