Nottingham Forest open to sending out of favour star, 26, on loan to fierce rivals Derby in controversial transfer
NOTTINGHAM FOREST want the best wage offer to send Lewis O’Brien out on loan.
The midfielder, 26, fancies Preston or Blackburn but they cannot come up with even half of his Forest salary.
Lewis O’Brien is set for his fourth loan spell away from Forest[/caption]Derby, Luton and Swansea are willing to offer more but he is after a club with a play-off chance.
O’Brien signed for Forest from Huddersfield following their promotion to the Premier League in 2022.
He has since made just 17 appearances for them and has been farmed out on three separate loans.
The Essex-born ace first headed to the US for a stint with D.C. United in 2023.
He then played 25 times for Middlesbrough during a return to the Championship last season.
After featuring for Forest in pre-season, O’Brien returned to America for a spell with Los Angeles FC last July.
The deal included an option to buy, which was not taken up by the MLS side.
In total he played 18 times for LAFC before returning to Forest.

With Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side flying high in the Premier League, O’Brien is still not part of their plans.
So he is likely to head out on loan again before tomorrow’s transfer deadline.
Celebrity Hunted star reveals abusive relationship saying strangers would stop her in street and beg her to leave him
CELEBRITY Hunted star Chloe Veitch has revealed her abusive relationship with an ex, saying strangers would stop her in the street and beg her to leave him.
Chloe, 25, who competed on the Channel 4 show in 2018, spoke candidly about her experience, shedding light on the toxic dynamic she once found herself trapped in.
Chloe Veitch has revealed her abusive relationship with an ex, saying strangers would stop her in the street and beg her to leave him[/caption] Chloe has shared her story to help others[/caption]Ensuring to keep the person’s identity private, she told Harry Jowsey on his Boyfriend Material podcast, she said: “Towards the end of the relationship, it would be full-blown arguments.
“It got physical, like in front of people, to the point where people would run up to me in the street crying and say, like, ‘Why are you with this guy?’ And I’m like, ‘But I love him.'”
She admitted that she hadn’t anticipated she would find herself in such a situation, saying: “I never thought I would be that girl. But it didn’t just happen overnight. It was the small red flags that turn into that end result.”
Chloe hopes that sharing her story can serve as a warning to others who might find themselves in similar positions.
She continued: “So I think if there’s anyone that’s listening that can learn from this experience, this isn’t just a moment for me to gossip. This is genuine realisation of me, understanding like this isn’t acceptable at all, at any part.”
The Too Hot To Handle alum urged others to recognise warning signs in their own relationships, saying, “It doesn’t have to be he raises his hand for you to leave. You should be aware of the signs because you can see them.”
Chloe has also been grieving the sudden loss of her close friend, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne, real name James Lee Williams, who passed away aged 32.
The pair starred together on Celebrity Hunted in 2022 and remained close friends.
Chloe recently shared her heartbreak on Instagram, posting a screenshot of their final messages on WhatsApp.
In the exchange, James had invited her to visit, writing: “Come and stay for a few days when you can.”
Chloe replied: “Yeah, that sounds good. I’m not doing anything next weekend. I wanna come see you.”
James explained: “I’m not free until the 5th then have a week off. Just got home xxx.”
Chloe responded: “OK babe, I’ll come see you for a couple of nights after the 5th.”
Captioning the screenshot, Chloe wrote: “I’m gonna miss you so much, James.”
She also shared a touching photo of the pair, adding: “You were the light in everyone’s life,” alongside a clip of their time on Celebrity Hunted.
Chloe included a poignant quote in her tribute: “If you have the chance to make people happy, just do it. Sometimes people are struggling silently. Maybe your act of kindness can make their day.”
James’ publicist, Simon Jones, confirmed the tragic news last month, saying: “It is with immense sadness that we announce our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne – passed away suddenly this weekend.
“James was an incredibly loved, warm-hearted, and amazing person. Their family is heartbroken by the loss of their son, brother, and uncle.
“They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career.”
She competed on Celebrity Hunted 2018 with The Vivienne[/caption]HOW YOU CAN GET HELP:

Arsenal vs Man City referee appointment lacks common sense – Gunners fans are right to be unhappy
THE appointment of Peter Bankes for the power-keg Premier League showdown between Arsenal and Manchester City lacks common sense.
Gunners fans are up in arms because Bankes is from Merseyside and has an affiliation with the Liverpool County Football Association.
Arsenal face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash at the Emirates[/caption] Peter Bankes has been appointed the referee for the match[/caption] Gunners fans are up in arms as Bankes is from Merseyside and has an affiliation with the Liverpool County Football Association[/caption]And I believe the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) have brought undue pressure on Bankes and themselves with the appointment for today’s Emirates clash with Arsenal vying with Liverpool in the title race.
In the wake of Michael Oliver receiving death threats and abuse after he wrongly sent off Arsenal‘s Myles Lewis-Skelly in the 1-0 win at Wolves last weekend, refs’ chiefs have made an unnecessary appointment.
They are not helping themselves.
The game is big enough because of the huge rivalry as outlined by Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.
But the appointment will only increase the pressure on Bankes.
I would never question the integrity of any match official.
But if anything happens then Bankes will be in the firing line.
Arsenal fans are already fuming over Oliver’s decision to dismiss Lewis-Skelly.

Arsenal ratings vs Girona as Neto has a shocker on debut but is rescued by wonderkid
NETO endured a nightmare Arsenal debut against Girona but had 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri to thank for sparing his blushes.
SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson has provided his ratings for the Arsenal team…
Neto – 4
He made his long-awaited debut, having joined Arsenal on loan from Bournemouth last summer.
The goalkeeper got away with an early mistake and was caught out by former Spurs star Arnaut Danjuma.
Thomas Partey 45′ – 6
Too aggressive from the right-back spot and was beaten for pace by Danjuma as Girona opened the scoring.
Partey struggled with the winger for much of the game which gave the hosts an edge.
Managed to win a penalty to give Arsenal a route back into the game after a needless challenge but was hooked at half-time.
Jakub Kiwior – 6
The defender put in a decent shift at the back and was able to keep Abel Ruiz quiet for much of the match.
Gabriel Magalhaes – 6
Like Kiwior, Gabriel was fairly solid against Girona and dealt with most of the danger from the hosts.
Riccardo Calafiori 69′ – 6
Thought he scored the opener but was a good foot offside.
Continued to be positive up the wing and helped the Gunners up the pitch.
Mikel Merino – 6
Merino was fine against Girona. It was not a performance that will grab headlines but did what he needed to do in midfield.
Jorginho 80′ – 7
It’s been a while, but the Italian was back on the scoresheet after converting from the spot in the 38th minute.
The midfielder was composed on the ball and helped recycle the ball and control possession.
Martin Odegaard – 6
It was a quiet night for the Gunners captain as he helped the team maintain the ball but lacked that creative spark.
Raheem Sterling – 4
Struggled to make a big impact in the first half and was the weakest of all of the Gunners’ frontline.
To make matters worse, he was booked for diving in the 70th minute.
And just as he though it couldn’t get even worse, he missed a penalty late on.
Leandro Trossard 69′ – 6
Should have given Arsenal the lead early on but was unable to deflect the ball goalwards.
Continued to prob and rattled the crossbar before the break with a powerful effort.
Ethan Nwaneri 85′ – 8
The youngster showed why he is one of the most promising players at the club with a wonder strike in the first half.
He wrapped a curling effort into the top corner before half-time on his first Champions League start.
His goal saw him become the second youngest English goalscorer in the history of thre Champions League.
SUBS
Jurrien Timber 45′ – 6
Added some energy down the left-hand side after replacing Partey at half-time.
Kai Havertz 69′ – 6
Got involved in the attack but struggled to find a clear scoring chance,
Myles Lewis-Skelly 69′ – 6
Another comfortable outing for the impressive youngster.
Declan Rice 80′ – 6
Came on in the final stages to help solidify the defence for the Gunners and put in some dangerous corners.
He did pick up a booking late on.
Gabriel Martinelli 85′ – N/A
Replaced Nwaneri late on and looked dangerous on the wing for the final minutes.
But VAR Darren England and then the PGMOL were more to blame.
England should have intervened at Molineux and then there was no reason for the PGMOL to back a decision which was clearly incorrect.
The statement to support the red card only inflamed the situation.
I saw Gary Neville accuse Mikel Arteta of fuelling Arsenal fans’ growing hostility towards referees but I disagree.
If Prem officials got decisions right on a consistent basis then the majority of supporters would have no complaints.
