Nottingham Forest and Everton have been boosted by a recent Wolves transfer decision.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly cooled their interest in Olympique Lyonnais defender Jake O’Brien following an enquiry.
The Old Gold have decided their next step is to consider other options after discovering Lyon’s hefty asking price. Nottingham Forest and Everton will be buoyed by this news as the fellow Premier League pair hold a strong interest in O’Brien.
Two times a Republic of Ireland international, the 23-year-old has a slightly unusual career path but is reaping the rewards. O’Brien broke through at Cork City before securing a move to Crystal Palace but he decided to move on for pastures new after just two years.
A couple of loan moves away – one to League Two side Swindon Town and the next to Belgian second-tier outfit RWD Molenbeek – gave O’Brien the chance to impress on the first-team stage. Lyon were keeping tabs and took the plunge, signing the defender for around £1 million last summer.
