More recent loan spells at National League side Notts County handed Arter minutes outside England’s professional league set-up as he made nine appearances for the club. He also featured in the FA Cup and League One for Charlton in the same season.

Further frustration has been growing from within the Forest camp after Arter was said to have returned for pre-season in an unfit condition that displeased staff at the club.

Forest, like other Premier League sides, conduct fitness tests after players return from summer holidays with Arter two kilograms over the club’s threshold.

Sources further claim there is a lack of motivation from the player to try and force his way into Steve Cooper’s first-team and is instead focused solely on seeing out the remainder of his contract.

His current deal expires at the end of the current season, however, Forest have been proactively trying to seek a solution for the player to continue playing elsewhere.

Arter wasn’t named in Forest’s Premier League squad for a second consecutive season and is instead training with the club’s academy teams.

Forest have struggled to deal with Arter’s representative, Paul Martin, and believe they are prioritising financial gain over attempting to find a suitable deal to terminate his contract.

Arter has made just 14 senior appearances for Forest since joining the club. Mail Sport have contacted the player’s representative for comment.
