wis O’Brien of Nottingham Forest is reportedly not of interest to Norwich City, which gives Sheffield United and Luton Town more momentum in their pursuit of the midfield player.
According to Pink Un, the 25-year-old is not listed as a transfer target by the club for this summer. The Canaries may have a busy summer ahead of them as Johannes Hoff Thorup adjusts to his new team. As is the case with new managers, adjustments may be necessary. Although Norwich made it to the play-offs last season, their campaign wasn’t very successful. With a new manager in charge, Norwich will be looking to improve on their performance and make it back to the top flight.
However, it looks as though O’Brien won’t be included in the new Norwich lineup, which is good news for teams like Luton and Sheffield United.
Norwich City are not interested in Lewis O’Brien
Lewis O’Brien of Nottingham Forest is a player that Norwich City is interested in signing, according to a report by Alan Nixon via Pink Un. According to the source, the Canaries and Luton Town were vying for the 25-year-old, with both teams hoping to sign him on a loan. It was mentioned, though, that Forest intended to sell the midfield player permanently before thinking about taking him on another loan.
In any case, Pink Un reports that Norwich is not interested in signing O’Brien this summer, so the Canaries don’t appear to be concerned about that. The former Huddersfield Town midfielder, who spent the previous season on loan at Middlesbrough, is reportedly not being pursued by Norwich.
Sheffield United and Luton Town are interested in Lewis O’Brien
O’Brien spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, but earlier this summer it was reported that Michael Carrick’s side wouldn’t be pursuing a move. Luton Town, as previously stated, have been credited with an interest in the midfielder as the Hatters look to put together a squad capable of challenging for promotion. However, they are not the only side interested in the player, as Sheffield United and Preston North End have been linked with a move for the midfielder in recent weeks.
Alan Nixon had earlier this month revealed that Ipswich Town had entered the competition and intended to recruit the 25-year-old before summer. Although O’Brien’s summer destination is unknown, it doesn’t seem like Norwich will be his final stop.
Norwich City should target Lewis O’Brien if Kenny McLean leaves
Given the rumors surrounding Kenny McLean, it is surprising that Norwich is not interested in signing Lewis O’Brien this summer. Though he would be more of an active presence in the middle than a pace-setter, O’Brien would be a fantastic alternative for the Scotsman. He doesn’t appear to be on their radar right now, but considering what might happen with McLean, the Canaries ought to be monitoring his circumstances.
The 25-year-old has plummeted far in Nottingham Forest’s hierarchy, thus it appears that his future there will not be one there. However, given that the player hasn’t been playing much football lately, the Premier League team may need to be reasonable in their demands for him.
