Nottingham Forest have completed a second loan deal in the space of few hours with Dilane Bakwa following Eric da Silva Moreira out of the City Ground.
The 24-year-old has joined LOSC Lille on a season-long loan deal having not been part of Oliver Glasner’s plans so far this term.
Indeed the winger has struggled to make an impact since arriving from Strasbourg last summer and amid all the flux of last season played only 24 times including just six Premier League starts.
Without a Europa League campaign to offer minutes this season the former France Under-21 has returned to his homeland and Ligue 1.
He joins up with Davide Ancelotti’s side, who won their first game of the Ligue 1 season with a 2-0 victory at Angers after last term’s third place finish.

That was enough to qualify for the Champions League meaning Bakwa should play for the first time in Europe’s elite competition. Bakwa has four years left on his Reds contract.
Forest released a statement which read: “Everyone at Nottingham Forest wishes Dilane the very best for the season ahead.”
Meanwhile Glasner has sanctioned a loan exit for da Silva Moreira as part of a long-term plan to get him into their first team. The 20-year-old full-back-come-winger will spend a year with Excelsior Rotterdam in the Dutch top flight.
