Brighton turn down Forest's Dunk approach

Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly rebuffed Nottingham Forest 's approach for defender Lewis Dunk .

Forest boss Sean Dyche is reportedly an admirer of the centre-back who has spent his career with the Seagulls.

However, according to Peter O'Rourke of Football Insider , Brighton have no interest in selling the experienced defender with the Reds likely to have to look elsewhere if they want to bolster their defence.

The 34-year-old Dunk has played 22 times for Fabian Hürzeler 's side this season and featured on 508 appearances in total for the club – that includes games from League One, the Championship, the Premier League, and in Europe.
