The deal to bring Lewis Dunk to Nottingham Forest has reportedly broken down. The Brighton defender had featured prominently in the club's plans, but sources are now speculating that no agreement was reached and both sides are expected to move on quickly to new targets. Whether talks will resume further down the line remains to be seen. Negotiations failed to produce a deal, and with no other reported suitors, the situation is set to remain unchanged for Lewis Dunk. Across the season 25/26, Nottingham Forest have let in 34 goals in 23 (1.48 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Lewis Dunk would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Speculation continues to connect Nottingham Forest with Jean-Philippe Mateta, Lorenzo Lucca and Wilson Isidor while no fresh rumours surround Brighton.
