Greek shot-stopper moves to the City Ground

Nottingham Forest are set to sign Dimitrios Konstantopoulos on loan for the remainder of the season. The former Greece Under 21 international is currently with Championship side Coventry but has found himself out of favour since Chris Coleman's arrival as manager. He has made 23 appearances for the Sky Blues this season but has fallen behind Andy Marshall and new signing Kasper Schmeichel in the pecking order at the Ricoh Arena. Konstantopolous should have no problems settling into life in League One as he began his career in England with Hartlepool and spent four years at the Victoria Ground before his move to the Midlands last summer. Forest were forced to enter the emergency loan market as Paul Smith is currently the only experienced keeper on their books and Colin Calderwood is reluctant to use his youngsters with the club still firmly involved in a promotion battle.
