Blackburn Rovers remain in "dialogue" with the EFL over their attempts to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien, according to our sister title LancsLive.
Their attempts to sign O'Brien on loan were blocked after some paperwork was filed after the 11pm cut-off on transfer deadline day on January 31. After the move seemingly failed, they launched an appeal to the EFL.
The league have now responded to the appeal, asking for more information, and the parties are now in talks over the situation. They are said to be looking for a solution.

It's said that Rovers could still take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, though that would depend on the timeframe within which their case could be heard by the independent body.
O'Brien is in limbo at Forest, having been left out of the 25-man Premier League squad for the second half of the season. He has been linked with a potential move to the United States, with the Major League Soccer (MLS) window not closing until April 24. Their season starts later this month.
