Overview

  • The Dragons have reached agreement on a package worth up to £5 million with Nottingham Forest for 26-year-old midfielder Lewis O’Brien.
  • The club’s wage offer falls short of the player’s current salary, leaving personal terms unresolved and the record transfer hanging in the balance.
  • Hull City’s transfer embargo has sidelined one rival bidder, while Birmingham City are believed to be monitoring the midfielder’s situation.
  • O’Brien brings both Premier League and Championship experience, including a half-season loan at Swansea City last term.
  • Wrexham have already bolstered their ranks with the signings of Ryan Hardie and Danny Ward as they prepare for their first Championship campaign.
