Oliver Burke has revealed he was surprised to learn Nottingham Forest had agreed to sell him to RB Leipzig, but he has revealed he understands his boyhood club’s decision.

“When I found out Forest had agreed a deal to sell me it was a surprise,” the 19-year-old said in an emotional statement.

“But I understand the transfer fee received should help stabilise the club and allow Forest to sign two or three quality players who can help the team push for promotion.”
