Nottingham Forest have reportedly agreed a deal to sell Lewis O'Brien to Blackburn Rovers on transfer deadline day.
The Championship outfit came in for the midfielder on Tuesday morning with an offer to gazump suitors West Brom and Sheffield United. Neither club were able to match the offer on the table.
O'Brien would join Rovers on loan until the end of the season. The move could be made permanent in a deal worth £10 million if the club gain promotion to the Premier League, according to football journalist Alan Nixon.

Sky Sports News are also reporting that Forest have permitted the player to go for a medical after agreeing to let him join Jon Dahl Tomasson's side as they go all out for a top six finish. They currently sit fifth in the table but have won just one of their last five league games.
Blackburn are also said to chasing a move for Steve Cook, who is being made available for transfer after Forest agreed a deal for Atletico Madrid defender Felipe. Stoke City were reportedly looking at signing the veteran centre-back who helps the Reds win the play-offs last season, while Luton Town are interested as well.
