Striker Arnaud Kalimuendo has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on an initial loan deal.
The Bundesliga club have an option to make the move permanent for about £23m and end the forward's brief time at Nottingham Forest.
The 23-year-old moved to the City Ground from Rennes in the summer for £26m but struggled to make an impact.
He scored twice, both in the Europa League, in 14 appearances, but was behind Igor Jesus after Chris Wood was ruled out in October with a knee injury.
Forest are keen on Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen as they look for more firepower in January. Sean Dyche's side are seven points above the relegation zone after Tuesday's win at fellow strugglers West Ham.
Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche said: "In Arnaud Kalimuendo, we're signing a forward who, despite his young age, has performed at a consistently high level in Ligue 1.
"He has pace, makes runs behind the defence and is a clinical finisher, and he also works really hard off the ball.
"It was important for us that he was not only a very good fit in terms of the football he plays, but also in terms of his character.
"Arnaud has the ambition to keep developing, and we are confident that he has the environment here to exploit his full potential."
