Nottingham Post journalist Paul Taylor said via his official Twitter account on Monday that Nottingham Forest have told him that they aren’t pursuing West Ham United starlet Reece Oxford despite reports to the contrary over the weekend, and Reds fans have been quick to react.
The Mirror reported on Sunday that the Championship play-off hopefuls were keen on a massive £8m move for the Irons outcast, who could leave the Premier League club before Thursday’s deadline.
However, Taylor says that Martin O’Neill’s men actually aren’t tracking the 20-year-old at all, with the Irishman still only completing a deal to sign Yohan Benalouane from Leicester City since replacing Aitor Karanka at the helm earlier this month.
Forest bounced back from defeat in the 66-year-old’s debut game in charge against Bristol City to beat Wigan Athletic 3-1 at The City Ground on Saturday, and they lie four points outside of the top six ahead of the transfer window slamming shut this week.
Nottingham Forest supporters took to social media to have their say on Taylor’s transfer update, and while one said they “don’t think we will be paying anywhere near that much for any player”, another said: “Pity. Type we should be after”.
