Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien is at the centre of a three-way tug of war between MLS clubs.
That is according to the Sun, who claim New York City, Columbus Crew and Atlanta United are all keen on the Forest midfielder, who was left out of the club's 25-man squad for the rest of the season. O'Brien was set to join Blackburn Rovers on loan on deadline day last month but their attempts to sign him were blocked after some paperwork was filed after the 11pm cut-off.
Rovers remain in "dialogue" with the EFL over their attempts to sign O'Brien and 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.
