Leon Best admits he is flattered by the interest from Nottingham Forest - but the Coventry forward insists he is happy at the Ricoh Arena.League One promotion hopefuls Forest had two bids for the Nottingham-born 21-year-old turned down last week, the second believed to be an offer of £600,000.

Best, who joined Coventry from Championship rivals Southampton in the summer, said: "It is very flattering and I am over the moon to see that another club is interested in me, especially my home town club, but I only joined Coventry in the summer and I am happy here.

"I know myself that I am not playing anywhere near as good as I should be, so it definitely gives me confidence.

"I just need to concentrate on improving my game and working hard for Coventry and hopefully I can start getting more goals for the team."

Best has scored four goals in all competitions for Iain Dowie's team this season.
