The door appears to have re-opened for Nottingham Forest to strengthen in the loan market after Liverpool have rejected a loan bid from Swansea for Harry Wilson – claims Sky Sports.
Premier League champions Liverpool reportedly decided they wanted Swansea to provide a greater financial commitment.
There is said to be interest from a number of clubs in the midfielder who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth in the top flight, including Forest, Derby County and Cardiff City.
Forest and Derby reportedly submitted formal loan offers for the 23-year-old winger for whom Liverpool are understood to be looking to secure a multi-million pound loan fee.
A number of Premier League clubs had been interested in Wilson earlier in the summer but his only option for a move away from Anfield now is the EFL.
Premier League and EFL clubs can still do business until 5pm on Friday after the international deadline - where English clubs could buy, sell and loan players from abroad - closed on October 5.
Clubs can buy - whether making loan or permanent signings - and sell, but there cannot be transfers between Premier League teams.
In August, Sky Sports News reported Wilson would only leave Liverpool on a permanent deal - otherwise he would be part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad for the 2020/21 campaign.
At 23 and already a full Wales international, the Liverpool academy graduate is keen for regular first-team football, having contributed seven goals in 31 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth last season.
