Nottingham Forest is considering sending Lewis O'Brien out on loan. Reports indicate that O'Brien is interested in Blackburn, but the club is unable to cover even half of his salary from Forest. Nottingham Forest is looking for the best wage offer for O'Brien, who is also reportedly interested in Preston. However, Derby, Luton, and Swansea are said to be willing to offer more, although O'Brien is believed to prefer a club with a play-off opportunity. After joining from Huddersfield following Forest's promotion to the Premier League in 2022, O'Brien has only made 17 appearances and has been loaned out three times, including periods at D.C. United and Los Angeles FC. As the transfer deadline approaches, it is expected that O'Brien will be loaned out once more.
