Ireland U21 international Jack Grealish has been linked with a loan move to Nottingham Forest.

The Aston Villa youngster has made 11 appearances - often from the bench - in all competitions so far this season, and was recently publicly reprimanded by manager Paul Lambert for airing his frustration on Twitter.

Forest boss Stuart Pearce has indicated that he would be interested in loaning the player and the arrival of Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair at Villa Park on loan may pave the way for a move to happen. 

The 19-year-old signed a new four-year deal with Villa in September.
