Done deal :Leeds United to miss out on £17m transfer as Nottingham Forest win the race…
Leeds United have been dealt a major blow in the transfer market, as Nottingham Forest have beaten them to the £17 million signing of highly-rated midfielder Lewis O’Brien. Despite strong interest from Leeds and weeks of negotiations, the 25-year-old has opted for a move to the City Ground, where he’s expected to play a key role in Forest’s Premier League campaign.
Leeds had identified O’Brien as a top target in their bid to strengthen midfield options ahead of a renewed push for promotion. However, Forest’s offer of top-flight football and a more attractive financial package proved decisive. The deal includes performance-related bonuses and a long-term contract, signaling Forest’s confidence in the former Huddersfield Town star
O’Brien’s switch to Forest ends Leeds’ hopes of adding a proven Championship performer to their squad. The Elland Road side will now be forced to turn their attention elsewhere, with alternatives already being scouted. For Forest, the signing adds depth and energy to their midfield—a clear signal of intent as they look to solidify their Premier League status.
