Winger breaks silence as Nottingham Forest issue crucial Liverpool update

Millwall winger Jed Wallace says he was "never close" to leaving the club in the January transfer window despite Nottingham Forest's attempts to sign him.

The Reds were eager to land the in-demand Championship star and reportedly had three bids rejected for the winger who is out of contract this summer.

Forest reportedly made another attempt to sign him on a dramatic deadline day at the City Ground which saw Richie Laryea, Sam Surridge and Jonathan Panzo all join the club.

But Wallace, who was out injured at the time, told BBC Radio London that his sole interest was getting back and playing football again.

"(I was) never that close (to leaving),” he said.
