Lansbury set for Forest stay

Nottingham Forest captain Henri Lansbury has committed his future to the club, according to Sky Sports.

The former Arsenal man has been strongly linked with a move away from the City Ground this summer, with Burnley the front runners in the race to sign his services.

However the twenty-four year old now looks set to remain with Dougie Freedman’s side, who are looking to build on last season’s fourteenth place finish.

Prior to his move to Forest, Lansbury had successful loan spells with West Ham United, Norwich City, Watford and Scunthorpe United.

Internationally, he has been capped sixteen times for England’s U21s, scoring five goals while he also had impressive records for both the U19s and U17s.

Forest currently sit in twelfth place having taken four points from their opening three league fixtures, and they can be backed at a price of 12/1 to be promoted at the end of the season.
