The midfielder had the idea of leaving the club but stayed and his contract was automatically extended until 2024 after Nottingham were promoted to the Premier League in 2022.

But SunSport understands that clubs are still vying for the Fulham defender, adding Chelsea.

Eddie Howe has been keen to sign the centre-back for a long time, and Sven Botman is facing a significant era of absence.
The Magpies have been leading the race for some time and have advanced in their pursuit.

According to movement expert Ben Jacobs, the Blues are not former coaches Thomas Tuchel or José Mourinho, while Sporting Lison boss Ruben Amorim is not the favourite.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna is expected to be one of the frontrunners, but west Londoners Brighton are very advanced and will therefore want to act quickly.
Thomas Frank of Brentford, Míchel of Girona, Eddie Howe of Newcastle and Sebastian Hoeness of Stuttgart have been mentioned.
Mauricio Pochettino will no longer manage Chelsea despite leading them to European qualification after a turbulent campaign.
According to Ben Jacobs, an expert on the move, Pochettino did not stand out as a strategic choice.
The Argentine strategist himself considered that the situation could worsen even more if he stayed and so informed owner Todd Boehly through a phone call.
Several players were surprised by the news, as the dressing room looked for the former Tottenham manager to stay.
Les Bleus are now betting on a “younger”, more “modern” and “progressive” coach.
SunSport takes a look at who could fill the hot spot at Chelsea following Mauricio Pochettino’s surprise departure. . .
Flick was one of football’s most sought-after coaches after winning the Champions League with Bayern Munich. But everything went well in his next position, becoming the first coach to be sacked by Germany.
He is now fit to return and could be a sensible solution for Les Bleus.
Chelsea fans probably wouldn’t have heard of him, but Hoeness is Germany’s next big thing.
Hoeness Stuttgart from contender for relegation to the second best team in the Bundesliga, completes ahead of Bayern Munich.
Only the invincible Bayer Leverkusen stayed away from the miracle.
Michel Sánchez has wonders with little Girona in Spain.
The minnows were in the race for the La Liga name at Christmas before seeing Real Madrid shoot.
But they have led their illustrious Catalan neighbors Barcelona into position and are guaranteed a Champions League spot. Reports in Spain imply that this has caught the attention of Chelsea.
Still adored by Stamford Bridge enthusiasts, who never liked former Spurs boss Pochettino, Mourinho would be an option.
Winner of 3 Premier League titles with the Blues in two topsy-turvy spells, could he be the man to take Chelsea back to the top?
