Gareth Ainsworth has revealed he is ‘banking on keeping’ Anis Mehmeti this transfer window.

The 21-year-old, who has scored nine goals in 27 league outings this season, has been one of the division’s best players following some brilliant strikes and individual performances.

His recent goal in the 2-0 victory over Thames Valley neighbours Oxford United, along with an assist, will no doubt add value if any potential lookers come along for the Albanian.

Rumours have suggested that Nottingham Forest of the Premier League are interested in Mehmeti, but Ainsworth is feeling confident that the former Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and Norwich City youth player will remain at Adams Park until the end of the season.

Ainsworth said: “We are banking on keeping him.

“He is a sensational player and I do believe he will play at the top level.

"But at the moment, he is enjoying his football at Wycombe and speaking to his representatives and his family, he loves it here.

“For someone who joined us from Non League and his first season with us was in the Championship, he has grown from strength to strength.

“It’s a pleasure to coach someone like him, and he’ll be the first to credit his teammates who have given him the platform to do what he does.”

Since joining Wanderers in 2020, Mehmeti has scored 19 goals in 97 matches for the club.
