Brighton to reject £20m Forest bid for Ayari

Brighton are set to reject a £20m offer from Nottingham Forest for midfielder Yasin Ayari.

Ayari signed for Brighton from AIK Stockholm in 2023 and has made 66 appearances for the Seagulls since his £3.5m arrival, scoring six goals.

Since arriving in England, the 22-year-old has also had loan spells at Blackburn and Coventry.

Forest have already added a striker to their ranks during the winter window with Italy international Lorenzo Lucca joining on loan from Napoli.

Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa is also on Forest’s radar after John Victor, who has been sharing duties with Matz Sels, was ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
