A year after his arrival at OL, Jake O’Brien (23 years old) should already be flying towards other horizons. Starting 32 times this season (5 goals, 2 assists), the Irish international has established himself as one of Pierre Sage’s undisputed players. An obvious success for a player who arrived from Crystal Palace for 1 million euros a year earlier. Moreover, the performances of the 1m97 golgoth do not leave anyone indifferent in England today.
In the last few hours, we revealed to you a strong interest from Brentford for the player, but also from Everton and Wolverhampton. Other PL clubs have also positioned themselves. And clearly, water has flowed under the bridge since then, since we are now able to confirm that the player’s departure is almost a done deal. Lyon does not want to take any risks and kept him on Wednesday during the friendly match lost against St Pauli (1-0). Everything should accelerate in the coming days for the Irishman, who is spoiled for choice and will make the decision of his future club.
