Karim Ansarifard

Usual webchat update from Paul Taylor:

"As for Ansarifard...
The player wants to come, the club want him to come and a package has been agreed some time ago, to make it happen.

There have (obviously) been delays in getting approval for the deal from the relevant authorities.

But given that Ashkan Dejagah got a work permit to play for Forest, as a fellow Iranian international with similar experience, you imagine that Ansarifard will be granted one as well eventually, even if there is some red tape to get through, by the looks of it.

The club still very much want it to happen, however.

He will become a Forest player. The only question at this point is when.

At least with Murphy and Grabban both playing well at the minute, there is a bit less urgency over it all.

And Soudani will also be fit in a week or two."

Didn't Dejagah have a German Passport SR?

I think he did but not 100% sure.
