Bafana Bafana international Siphiwe Tshabalala's much-publicised move to Nottingham Forest is hanging in the balance, reports Timelive.

Much depends on Forest winning promotion to the Premiership - which they can still do, depending on how they fare in the playoffs - but the chances are getting more remote by the day.

"The deal with Forest has been put on ice," said Tshabalala's business manager Jazzman Mahlakgane. "We are talking to another club in England and also in Belgium and we are hoping to have something solid before the new season starts. Tshabalala also wants to focus on his other business interests locally,"

It has been a disappointing week for the Kaizer Chiefs star midfielder who was prevented from travelling with the national team to Tanzania at the 11th hour.

Tshabalala would have captained his country for the first time.
