Nottingham Forest chief executive Mark Arthur has issued a hands off warning to any clubs interested in their prized possessions.

Rumours persist that ex-Reds boss Gary Megson is keen to be reunited with Kris Commons and Nathan Tyson at Bolton and a number of scouts are believed to have been at Brighton last Friday to witness the former Wycombe striker's double in the 2-0 win.

Arthur told the Nottingham Evening Post: "This is pure speculation created by agents and their like.

"We are looking to add to the squad during the January transfer window by making new signings, not to allow people to leave or be sold."
