Former Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman regrets selling Michail Antonio to West Ham United.

The Reds accepted a £7m bid from the Premier League side last summer, having previously turned down an offer from West Brom.

"Michail Antonio was a decision which, maybe looking back, I regret. But I think at the time, with this financial thing over our heads, we had to make a decision," the Scot said on Matchday Live with Fletch and Sav on BT Sport.

"And Fawaz, to be fair to him, let me make the decision, and we had to sell Michail Antonio, which dented us.

"But the recruitment policy we put in place, with free transfers and loans, I felt was the right thing to do."
