Forest 'clearly not interested' in selling Elanga
"Forest are clearly not interested in selling," Fray said on the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast. "They're not having to sell, not desperate to sell and they want to keep Anthony Elanga. That's not a surprise because there is no substitute for pace.

"You see the pace he has and he's also got something on the end of it. It's all very well being able to run fast but you've got to be able to control the ball when you're running and be able to do something with it.
"Just look at his goal against [last season] Manchester United at the City Ground - that will tell you everything you need to know about the player."
Elanga has 11 goals and 21 assists in 82 appearances for Forest and Fray says his end product has caught the attention of rivals.
"That's why Newcastle want him," he said. "They've got a Champions League campaign and they're keen to strengthen, so they're looking at their options. Forest are not in a position that they have to sell but I suppose you come back to that old phrase of every player has got a price.

"There might come a point - it depends if Newcastle are going to go high enough. When the money becomes attractive, that's when you look at what players you can bring in. Option A - a replacement and option B - a replacement plus a couple more to add to the strength in depth."

Red Bull Boss Picks Max Verstappen's Replacement Amid Mercedes Rumors
Red Bull Boss Picks Max Verstappen's Replacement Amid Mercedes Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Red Bull boss Christian Horner may have just dropped the most unexpected name yet in Formula 1's swirling driver market drama. With Max Verstappen's future at Red Bull still the hottest topic in the paddock, especially as Mercedes continue to circle, Horner was asked directly if he had a 'Plan B' in case the reigning champion decides to jump ship. Advertisement His response? A cheeky point at McLaren CEO Zak Brown, standing right next to him, before blurting out: 'Oscar Piastri.' The moment, caught driving a media scrum at Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix, set social media buzzing. Of course, Horner was joking, at least on the surface. But in a season where Verstappen's rumored exit clauses and Mercedes' aggressive interest are fuelling non-stop headlines, even tongue-in-cheek comments hit differently. Max Verstappen during FP3 at Canadian Kirouac-Imagn Images Piastri, currently locked in with McLaren, has emerged as one of the grid's most impressive young stars. The 24-year-old Australian sits first in the championship heading into Silverstone, just ahead of teammate Lando Norris, and has proven he's more than ready to fight for the title. Advertisement Meanwhile, Verstappen's own contract saga rumbles on. Despite being signed at Red Bull through 2028, performance-related clauses have left the door cracked open for Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, especially if Verstappen were to slip outside the top four by the summer break. For now, Horner insists there's 'no reason to worry,' reiterating that Verstappen is committed to Red Bull. Still, his playful nidge at Brown shows how alive the intrigue truly is. In a silly season already overflowing with twists, even offhand jokes keep the rumor mill roaring.
