FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Nottingham forest deadline day transfer thrown into major doubt | History Defined

Lewis O'Brien's exit from Nottingham Forest still remains up in the air with Blackburn Rovers yet to receive EFL confirmation.

After intense speculation on where O'Brien would end up, it was Blackburn who eventually won the race despite interest from both Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion. However, Rovers were able to trump their Championship counterparts, with the Blades under a transfer embargo and Albion having signed Nathaniel Chalobah from Fulham instead.

That said, Rovers are still yet to receive official word from the EFL, as to whether the transfer has gone through. It went right down to the wire on deadline day - after Blackburn saw off Birmingham City in their FA Cup fourth round replay. For transfers to get over the line, paperwork must be filed before the 11pm deadline.
