Nottingham Forest striker Ben Brereton has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are using Oliver Burke as a guideline for any club trying to sign Ben Brereton in January.

Brereton’s stock has risen, following Forest’s FA Cup victory over Arsenal, where the youngster excelled.

Brereton played as a striker and caused the Arsenal defence a huge amount of problems, as Forest picked up a 4-2 victory.

The 18-year-old is thought to be on the radar of a number of Premier League sides, but Forest are not prepared to lose him cheaply.

Brereton still has a lengthy amount of time left on his contract at the City Ground, and the Reds are under no pressure to sell.

Forest are now looking for a fee in the region of what they received for Burke, for the striker.

Burke moved from Forest to Red Bull Leipzig in a £13 million transfer back in 2016, as valued by the Nottingham Post.

Burke barely featured for Leipzig and he has struggled for game time at West Bromwich Albion more recently, and the Scottish winger’s struggles may serve as a warning for Brereton about leaving Forest.
