Nottingham Forest dealt transfer blow as striker decision made

Lyon striker Moussa Dembele has reportedly turned down the chance to join Nottingham Forest and four more Premier League clubs.

Dembele, 26, has been linked with a move to England after enjoying his best goalscoring season of his career with Lyon last term. The former-Fulham man scored 21 Ligue 1 goals in 30 appearances despite Peter Bosz's side finishing eighth.

Following his impressive campaign in France, a host of teams across Europe and the Middle East have showed interest in signing the striker. According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Dembele has rejected a move to Steve Cooper's side and is keen to remain at Lyon - where he is now in his final 12 months of his contract.
