Nottingham Forest risk losing stars next month after owner Fawaz al-Hasawi put a block on new contracts until he sells up.

Forest skipper Henri Lansbury heads the list of City Ground players whose contracts are up next summer at the Championship strugglers.

This also includes emerging centre-back Joe Worrall, 19, who has a lengthening queue of suitors impressed at his development.

But Kuwaiti Al-Hasawi has told club officials not to negotiate or table terms until Forest is taken over.

American representatives were at the club last week to try to push through the protracted £50million deal.

But while it drags on, midfielder Lansbury, 26, will be free to speak to foreign clubs from next month and has Premier League interest after scoring six goals this term.

It is another headache for boss Philippe Montanier whose side are 17th after three games without a win, including defeat at arch-rivals Derby.
