Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has confirmed his club's interest in Nottingham Forest skipper Henri Lansbury.

The 26-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract, is reportedly attracting interest from a number of Premier League and Championship clubs.

Forest have reportedly already turned down a £2.5million bid from Derby County for the former Arsenal youngster.

Following the 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Bruce said: "We've made an enquiry. He's a player we think is for sale."
