Oxford United fans are reacting to reports linking Gavin Whyte with Nottingham Forest.

According to Sunday Life Sport, Forest are ready to bid £2 million for the Northern Irish winger.

United paid around £100,000 for Whyte during last summer’s transfer window, but the 23-year-old has made a mockery of the fee received by his former club, Crusaders, scoring or assisting 16 goals in 47 games.

And several of a U’s persuasion believe he’s worth even more than the figure being mentioned this time around.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

NFFC hahaha can and will do better 2million for full international jog on

Whyte moving to Nottingham Forest for £2 million would be awful business for Oxford. Lookman left Charlton for £11 million without international experience two years ago, so surely we’d have to demand £7 million+ for Whyte. #oufc

We were short changed on Kemar Roofe in my opinion considering Scott Hogan left Brentford for Villa at 10 million. We shouldn’t price Whyte out of a move if he wants it but he is worth a lot more than 2 million in the current market.

If the ‘bids’ are coming in already for Whyte, I can’t imagine him being with us at the start of the season. As long as we get £3m+, it happens early and we replace him then we’ll be ok #oufc

#oufc. Three depressing rumours that seem to have some substance about our better players moving on! Notts Forest supposedly preparing a £2m bid for Whyte. Barnsley expected to bid for East and Nelson will sign for Sunderland when he returns from his hols.

Whyte could be tasked with replacing Joe Lolley at Nottingham Forest, after the winger was strongly linked with a move to his boyhood club, Aston Villa.

Lolley scored or made 23 goals in 51 games in his first full season for Forest, whom he joined from Huddersfield Town 18 months ago.

Whyte still has two years left to run on his Oxford United contract.

Would the Oxford United winger be a good addition for Nottingham Forest?
