He made three starts and nine substitute appearances, without finding the net, before being sent back to Forest early. 

However, Forest will hope Ariyibi can find a club where he can settle and showcase his talent next season.

He’s a player known for his pace and direct attacking intent.

Speaking to the Post, Manager Aitor Karanka said “Gboly is a different situation because he has been out on loan and did not always play.

“The best thing for him might be to go out on loan again, to somewhere where he will play games.

“He needs to go on loan and play some games. Because if you do not play when you are out on loan, it is nothing.”

Despite Karanka’s wish for him to go on loan, Ariyibi won’t be short of suitors in the transfer window.
