Albion striker Chris O'Grady is expected to join home city club Nottingham Forest on loan.

O'Grady is at Forest for talks ahead of a proposed deal for the rest of the season.

Dougie Freedman is limited to loan signings and free agents as he looks to pep up an attack currently missing injured goalgetter Britt Assombalonga.

O'Grady has been limited to two starts in the Capital One Cup this term, missing a penalty at Walsall.

He went on for the closing stages of the Seagulls' recent 1-0 win over Forest at the Amex.
