Everton have rejected Forest's offer of £400,000 for 23 year-old midfielder Leon Osman. The player, who had a loan spell at Pride Park last season, looks to be one for the future and possibly somebody who could be playing in the first-team at Goodison Park soon.

Osman not coming.

Everton's young midfielder Leon Osman, who had a successful loan spell at Derby County last season, was our latest transfer target; although it seems that he will not be coming to The City Ground after Everton turned down a bid from the Reds. Kinnear's bid of £400,000 was rejected yesterday according to the Nottingham Evening Post and regional news programs- but there is still a chance of the 23 year-old signing as there is not yet been any word from the official site. Most fans seem to have given up on this move being a possibility and have turned their attentions to the possible return of West Ham United striker Marlon Harewood, who was a popular figure during his time with us.
