Brighton skipper Lewis Dunk is reportedly the subject of interest from Nottingham Forest.

The defender recently made his 500th appearance for the Seagulls in what has been something of a revival campaign by the England international, reasserting himself as one of the first names on the team sheet under Fabian Hurzeler following a shaky 2024/25 season.

Dunk also recently triggered a one-year option in his current deal with Brighton, extending his stay at the Amex Stadium until 2027.

But despite how the 34-year-old remains a key player on the Sussex coast and has spoken about ending his career with his boyhood side, it has not deterred interest from one of the Seagulls’ Premier League rivals.
