Nottingham Forest have been linked with Lewis as they look to continue their recent spending spree at the City Ground.

After the game at Molineux, Lewis admitted he wants to remain with Man City, referring to them as his “dream club”.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness said: “I think Rico Lewis is going to be staying at City.

“I think that would be too much for Forest to go up to the level that City are going to be asking.

Forest have done quite well, and I don’t think that will be happening, so that’s just one that I do think will stay there.

“I think Savinho and Lewis may be in that level, but I don’t think Forest will be the ones to get him at the level that Man City are looking for unless there’s some other sort of deal that goes on, but I don’t see it.”
