Nottingham Forest defender Andrew Omobamidele was linked with a move away from the City Ground in the January transfer window.
In the summer of 2023, Andrew Omobamidele moved from Norwich City to Nottingham Forest. Forest acquired the 21-year-old Republic of Ireland international central defender by paying Norwich £11 million (The Athletic) in transfer fees.
Journalist Tom Collomosse of The Daily Mail said on January 2 that Omobamidele was among the players who could depart Forest during the January transfer window.
Under the previous manager, Steve Cooper, Omobamidele had not played a single game in the Premier League before. Under Nuno, he has appeared in the Premier League on two occasions as a replacement and has made four starts.
As evidenced by the video below, the defender is excited to be playing for Forest and will always give it his all for manager Nuno.

On the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast, Omobamidele stated: “My uncle, Martin, my mum’s brother, is an ardent Forest supporter.
“I recall staying in his room when I used to visit my grandparents; all that was there were old Forest t-shirts, various player trophies, and just pictures.”
The way the world operates is absurd. I played for Forest at the time, so obviously I wasn’t thinking about it too much, but obviously not. In that way, it’s similar to the stars aligning.
“I’m enjoying and loving every minute of it,” the defender continued. Really, all I really wanted was to get to play, and I’m enjoying the challenge. Being a practical person, I understand that there are no freebies—you have to earn what you receive.
“I’m grateful that the boss gave me the opportunity to play, and I’ll give it my all every time.”
