Nottingham Forest have sent head coach Steve Cooper a clear message after reports suggested the Reds could try and sign Jamaal Lascelles this summer.
Lascelles, 28, has fallen down the pecking order at Newcastle United under boss Eddie Howe and has been been replaced due to January signing Dan Burn forming an impressive partnership with Fabian Schar. The Toon captain still has two years left on his current deal at St James' Park but may look for a move away according to reports.
Having been a key member of the squad before Christmas, Lascelles has made just eight Premier League appearances since the start of 2022.
