Wrexham Urged to Sign Nottingham Forest Midfielder Lewis O’Brien
Wrexham AFC’s Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are facing calls to make a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O’Brien. The 24-year-old spent the latter half of the previous season on loan at Swansea City.
O’Brien’s Time at Swansea
O’Brien joined Swansea City on loan in January 2023, after struggling to secure a regular place in the Nottingham Forest starting eleven following their promotion to the Premier League. During his time at the Swansea.com Stadium, O’Brien made 17 appearances for the Swans.
A Potential Move to the Racecourse Ground
The suggestion for Wrexham to pursue O’Brien comes as the club prepares for its return to the English Football League after a 15-year absence. Adding a player with Championship and Premier League experience would undoubtedly bolster their squad as they aim to compete at a higher level.
Wrexham’s Ambitions
Following their promotion from the National League, Wrexham’s owners have made it clear they harbor ambitious plans for the club. Significant investment in the playing squad is anticipated as they look to climb the football league pyramid. The potential acquisition of a player like O’Brien would signal their intent to make a serious impact in League Two.
