LEWIN Nyatanga's agent insists the defender will stay at Derby County despite the Reds agreeing a deal for the Welsh international with the Rams.

Quoted in the Sheffield Star, Dean Sheehan of Cardiff-based company Definitive, said: "As far as we are concerned, Lewin has three years left at Derby and he will stay and fight for his place. I wouldn't be saying this if Paul Jewell had given us any indication that he didn't want Lewin to do just that.

"Lewin has just completed another full season in the Championship and the club he played for on loan is desperate to have him back. What does that tell you about his ability?

"Forest boss Colin Calderwood has not phoned me. As far as I am concerned, that is just another rumour."
