Huddersfield will sell as O’Brien, 23, wants top-flight football and ironically lost to Forest in the play-off final.

O’Brien has been a long-term target for Leeds but they are exploring more expensive options in this transfer window.

Forest, meanwhile, have gotten their summer off to an exciting start.
