Graham Potter claims Neal Maupay's future is still unclear despite strong links to Nottingham Forest and Fulham this summer.
A possible £15m move to the City Ground has been mooted, but reports have also suggested the striker could join Fulham on loan for the season. Maupay has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Brighton and will play fewer Premier League minutes under Potter this season with Danny Welbeck and Deniz Undav favoured ahead of him.
Maupay is yet to play a single minute of Premier League football this season, but after not being included in the squad for the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United last weekend, he was part of Potter's squad for the 2-0 win over West Ham on Sunday. And Potter claims that a transfer is not 'imminent' with less than two weeks left of the window left for clubs to complete their summer business.

"It sounded a little bit more imminent last week but as we know the transfer window is not predictable," said Potter after the match. "I would say it is less imminent now and hence why he is in the squad. I think you have to realise they are human beings with families, with careers, and lives.
"If there is a decision to make they need some time to think about that but there isn't a decision now so we are happy to have him in the squad."
Forest have signed 16 players this window and have added strikers Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis to Steve Cooper's squad.
