Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling has played down talk that Nottingham Forest are set to make a bid for goalscoring left-back Matt Lockwood.

The 30-year-old has already netted eight goals for the O's this season and has been at Brisbane Road since the summer of 1998, having joined on a free transfer from Bristol Rovers.

Ling told his club's official website: "There is no official bid from Nottingham Forest for Matthew Lockwood.

"Forest manager Colin Calderwood is an admirer of Lockwood and Gary Alexander, so if you want to link Gary Alexander with Nottingham Forest as well, you can do so.

"Don't believe what you read in the newspapers."
