Nottingham Forest have reportedly suffered rejection in their bid to sign Anthony Knockaert on loan.
The Reds have brought in 13 additions so far this summer, and have until Friday evening to complete any further domestic deals.
Knockaert was part of the Brighton team which Hughton guided to the Premier League, and has three promotions on his CV.
Now Football Insider say top flight strugglers Fulham have refused Forest's request to take the 28-year-old on a season-long loan.
He made the move to Craven Cottage this summer, having helped Fulham reach the top-flight during a loan spell last season.
He has yet to feature in the league this term, however, with his three appearances so far all coming in the Carabao Cup.
