Nottingham Forest close to signing Chris O'Grady on loan?

Nottingham Forest are reportedly close to finalising a loan move for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Chris O'Grady.

The 29-year-old joined the Seagulls from Barnsley for £2m last summer, but has started just 15 Championship games since.

Forest are said to be in the market for a new striker and, according to the Nottingham Post, O'Grady will arrive at the club today to complete a season-long loan switch to the City Ground.

The Reds currently have Dexter Blackstock and Tyler Walker as their only striking options, with Britt Assombalonga and Matty Fryatt still sidelined through injury.

O'Grady has netted three goals in 38 appearances for Brighton.
