Derby County and Birmingham City have been linked with Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury.

Stan Collymore has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to speculation that Derby County have made a bid for Nottingham Forest captain Henri Lansbury.

According to BBC Sport, Derby have lodged a bid of over £2.5 million in order to sign Lansbury from Championship rivals Forest in the January transfer window.

The midfielder has been on the books of the Reds since 2012, but the 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.

The former Arsenal prospect is one of the best midfielders in the Championship, but he has not played since December 11 due to a hamstring injury.

According to The Birmingham Mail, Birmingham City were also interested in securing the services of Lansbury in January when Gary Rowett was in charge.

However, the report claims that new Birmingham manager Gianfranco Zola has decided against making a move for the Englishman.

Former Forest striker Collymore has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to speculation over Lansbury’s future.
