Nottingham Forest are 'desperate to offload' midfielder Harry Arter'
Nottingham Forest are ‘desperate to offload’ out-of-favour Harry Arter… with Steve Cooper keen to make room in his 25-man squad after signing 30 new players since promotion to Premier League
- Out-of-favour Harry Arter has not played for Nottingham Forest in over two years
- Despite being in the 25-man squad, the midfielder is without a squad number
- The 33-year-old didn’t push for a move last summer and January transfer window
Nottingham Forest are desperate to offload out-of favour midfielder Harry Arter, according to reports.
The 33-year-old has not appeared for Steve Cooper’s side in over two years having been sent out on loan twice last season.
He was also not given a squad number in Forest’s attempts to move him on and the club’s stance has not changed according to The Sun.
Arter joined Forest from Bournemouth in September 2020 and made just 13 league appearances before falling out of favour under Chris Hughton.
The Republic of Ireland international is thought to currently be on £40,000-a-week after a clause in his contract allowed his wages to be doubled last summer.

Arter, whose contract expires in 18 months, was told to find a new club last summer and in the January transfer window but a move failed to materialise, with the player said to have not pushed for a move.
His misery in the Midlands began when he was loaned out to League one side Charlton in August 2021 but returned to Forest five months later after making just just four appearances.
Another loan spell followed last March, this time at National League side Notts County where he made nine appearances in two months.
If Forest manage to offload Arter, it would free up space for another player to come into the squad having signed 30 players since promotion last season.
Cooper’s side currently sit 14th in the Premier League, six points above the relegation zone.
They will return to action when they host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
