Dawson wants to stay at Forest

The 18-year-old, who was in the England Under-21 squad that played against FYR Macedonia on Tuesday, has already been watched by Manchester United, Leeds and Aston Villa.

"I want to concentrate on Forest," he told the Nottingham Evening Post. "It's home from home for me. I'm happy where I am.

"I've been at Forest since I was 13 and I want to continue playing here and keep learning.

"I've only just got myself into the side, I'm still learning and Des Walker is great to play alongside.

"I just want to keep playing for Forest.

"You see speculation in the papers but you mustn't read a lot into it, just carry on playing."
