Earnshaw in talks over Forest move

Robert Earnshaw is in talks over a £2.5m move from Derby to Nottingham Forest.

Rams boss Paul Jewell confirmed a fee had been agreed between the east midlands clubs on Sunday and today revealed the price Forest had offered for the Wales striker.

“We have agreed a fee with Nottingham Forest of £2.5m and Robert is speaking to them,” Jewell told the club’s official website www.dcfc.co.uk.

“I gave him the option of speaking to them or he could stay here and he wanted to speak to them.

“I think it is a fair price. We actually paid £3.6m for him so it’s a loss of £1.1m over a year but as I have said I want to change things quite drastically here and everyone has their price.

“If we can get a few out and bring a few new players in with a bit of freshness I think it will only benefit us.”
