Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi has ruled out any possibility of full-back Matty Cash moving from the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest Boss Gives Transfer Update on Matty Cash Rumours
‘No Way’
Cash, 22, was linked earlier this week with a high-profile move to Italian giants AC Milan.
The talented full-back is also a target for a number of Premier League sides – with Southampton having enquired about the defender’s availability.
However, Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi has suggested there is minimal chance of the defender moving from the City Ground.
Speaking after his side’s 1-1 draw with Reading on Wednesday, Lamouchi said: “No way, no way. Don’t talk about the players going out.
“We are talking about the player who can come in. We are doing well. I am very close with players because we need to focus on the pitch together. This is the most important thing.
“They are doing well, Cashy also.”
Lamouchi added: “He is improving but he needs to learn, to walk in his position. In this position, he has a good future.”
Forest are keen to bring another striker to the City Ground despite signing Adam Diakhaby on-loan from Huddersfield Town.
However, Lamouchi admitted any new signings may not arrive until after next week’s trip to Brentford.
He said: “I don’t have news.
“For me, I think it could be on the last day of the window.
“We have played a lot of games without new players.
“We played tonight without new player.
“We will play next week [against Brentford], probably, without any new players.”
Forest missed the opportunity to move within two points of second-placed Leeds United by drawing with Reading.
Lewis Grabban scored what the 27,840-strong City Ground crowd thought to be the winner with ten minutes left; Sam Baldock levelled the tie three minutes later.
