Nottingham Forest is considering sending Lewis O'Brien out on loan. Swansea is among the clubs prepared to cover more than half of his salary, but O'Brien is aiming for a club with a chance at the play-offs. Although Preston and Blackburn have shown interest, they are unable to meet even half of his current salary at Forest. Derby, Luton, and Swansea have expressed their willingness to offer more, which aligns with Forest's preference for the best wage offer. O'Brien, who has previously been loaned out three times, including periods in the US with D.C. United and LAFC, as well as a season with Middlesbrough in the Championship, is looking for a new opportunity before the transfer deadline.
