Ben Osborn: Sheffield United sign Nottingham Forest midfielder
Ben Osborn played 44 games for Forest last season
Premier League newcomers Sheffield United have signed Nottingham Forest midfielder Ben Osborn.
The Blades have paid an undisclosed fee for the 24-year-old, who has signed a three-year contract at Bramall Lane.
Osborn came through Forest's youth set-up and, after his debut in 2014, played 230 games for the Championship club.
"We are putting together a group that's got to be competitive in arguably the best division in the world," said Blades boss Chris Wilder.
"He's been a fantastic player for Forest in the Championship and I know for certain that two or three clubs in January were sniffing around to take him."
