The leap from Olympiakos, Danish Esbjerg and Dutch Willem II to Liverpool was huge for Greek Kostas Tsikmikas. Just being chosen to wear the red shirt is a huge honor. After 115 appearances for Liverpool since 2020, the 29-year-old is still ready for something more, and that in the form of playing time. Now it seems that an exit is underway.

Earlier this summer, Nottingham Forest were reportedly keen to sign the left-back, according to transfer journalist Romano, Tsimikas is expected to leave the club, especially after he was absent from Sunday’s Community Shield squad against Crystal Palace.
