Nottingham Forest-linked Josh Murphy looks set to stay at Cardiff City, following a change of manager.
The Reds were said to be keen on the Bluebirds winger, with arch-rivals Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday also reportedly eyeing him up.
But Murphy’s situation seems to have changed now Cardiff have sacked Neil Harris and placed Mick McCarthy in charge.
The Sun claim the new boss “will hand a lifeline” to the club’s record signing, who had previously been out of favour.
And WalesOnline say: “The club’s official stance is that they would not like any more players to leave before the end of the transfer window, if they can help it.”
It had looked likely Murphy would head out on loan under Harris, given his lack of game time.
