Forest target hints at Walsall exit

Last updated : 07 September 2005 By Forest
The 19-year-old striker has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs in recent months but only Forest have made an official bid, which was rejected by Walsall.

Fryatt is out of contract at the end of the season and although he is set to be offered a new deal at the Bescot Stadium, told the Express & Star:

"When I came back for pre-season I was really keen and I started off well but the last two weeks have been a bit of a distraction because of all the speculation.

"I just wanted to get on with my football but it was hard with everybody talking about this and that.

"Deep down, I didn't know anything at all. I think that situation affected me and it would have been much better if somebody could have just told me I was definitely going or definitely staying.

"I feel as if there has been a weight lifted off my shoulders now and I can just get on with enjoying my football.

"I definitely want to play in The Championship and I am hoping for a move to that level but for now I just want to score goals."
