Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has shot down reports linking his club with Nottingham Forest winger Ateef Konate.
The 21-year-old was said to be the subject of interest from Bristol City, Stoke City and Danish club Odense after slipping down the pecking order at Forest. The combination of promotion heavy summer recruitment dented his hopes of breaking through into the first team under Steve Cooper.
Konate has not played a first team game for Forest this season and made just one Championship appearance last season - deeming him surplus to requirements at the City Ground.
