'I don’t care' - Nottingham Forest target issues brutal response to transfer links

Nottingham Forest transfer 'target' Aster Vranckx does "not care" about reports linking him with a move to the Premier League.

The Belgian teenager, currently plying his trade with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, has been linked with moves to both Forest and Everton in recent days.

Vranckx has been quizzed about reports linking him to Forest and did not hold back in saying what he thinks about the recent transfer speculation. “I don’t care about these Premier League rumours,” he said. “It’s my agent who takes care of it."

He also reiterated his commitment to Wolfsburg while outlining his hopes for the future. “I hope to become and stay as a starter (in Wolfsburg’s XI)," he said.

“We play with two number sixes and I’m mainly defensive. I have to organise things behind. I prefer to play more attacking. But, if that’s what the coach expects of me, I have to stay at the back."

In other transfer news, Forest are reportedly close to completing the signings of Huddersfield Town duo Harry Toffolo and Lewis O'Brien after the pair impressed in a Championship campaign which saw them lose to the Reds in the play-off final at Wembley.
