Nottingham Forest are going to be pretty quiet by their usual hectic standards on transfer deadline day. <\/strong><\/p>\n

John Victor signed for Forest<\/a> last night shortly after the Reds had been thrashed 3-0 by West Ham at the City Ground<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Forest have been active during the transfer window and have now landed 10 players during the summer, despite a slow start. <\/p>\n

Nuno Espirito Santo is going to have talks with Evangelos Marinakis<\/a> during the international break after a reported breakdown in their relationship. <\/p>\n

Today, there is work to do when it comes to outgoing deals, however, and now one player could be heading out of the exit door at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

According to Record, Sporting CP are in London trying to finalise a deal for Jota Silva <\/a>to join the club ahead of the deadline. <\/p>\n

The Champions League outfit are looking to sign new players, with Sporting holding long-term interest in Silva<\/a> since the start of the window. <\/p>\n

Silva is wanted by Rui Borges who was his manager at Vitoria before his move to Forest and he is keen to get a deal done before tonight\u2019s deadline. <\/p>\n

The 25-year-old started just five games for Forest last season and wasn\u2019t in the matchday squad for games against Crystal Palace and West Ham this season. <\/p>\n

Jota Silva to the limit<\/p>\n

Sporting will raise the stakes at the deadline<\/p>\n

Varandas has assured Rui Borges that he is prepared to make a last-ditch effort. The two sides came face to face yesterday in London<\/p>\n

Forest need to get rid of Silva<\/p>\n

The Reds have made 10 signings and naturally, the squad is now looking somewhat bloated following the new arrivals. <\/p>\n

Forest must make sure they offload some players today and Silva is one who will be itching to leave. <\/p>\n

Had Forest landed a player like Silva in their first season back in the Premier League, then perhaps things might have been different but right now, the team boasts better options. <\/p>\n

Silva will go with Forest\u2019s best wishes and if the deal can be struck with the Reds making a bit of profit that could be ideal from a PSR point of view. <\/p>\n
