Dean Henderson twist as Nottingham Forest make transfer 'proposal' for defender

Your Nottingham Forest headlines on Wednesday, June 28.

Henderson transfer twist

David de Gea reportedly signed a contract extension at Manchester United before the club pulled out, with Dean Henderson described as a "potential avenue" to becoming their new No 1.

Henderson impressed during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest last season having made important saves for the Reds earlier in the campaign before picking up a season-ending injury in January.

It is his performances in the first few months of the 2022/23 season which have led the club to try and sign him this summer, as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping department. Wayne Hennessey is currently the Reds' only senior keeper, although they do still have Ethan Horvath on their books but his future remains unclear.

The Athletic claim that de Gea had agreed fresh terms with the Red Devils which would see his salary reduced, only for United to back out on signing the contract. It is claimed that they will now submit "a new proposal" with "an even lower salary."

Danilo is appearing on the transfer watch lists of Europe's biggest clubs after just 12 league starts for Nottingham Forest, claim reports back in Brazil.

The 22-year-old midfielder quickly forged a reputation in the Premier League following his £16 million January move from Palmeiras, helping the Reds secure their status in the division. His form and furious work ethic has got him back in consideration for the Brazil national team - and seen speculation mount about his long-term future.

ESPN Brazil suggests that interest will step up in the January window if he keeps his level of performances at the standard he has hit so far in the East Midlands.

Jesse Lingard reflects

Out-of-contract Jesse Lingard has put his limited impact at Nottingham Forest down to an injury-hit season.

The attacker signed for the Reds amid much hype and expectation last summer, but he struggled to deliver on the pitch and found himself down the pecking order in the second half of the campaign. Having penned a one-year deal, he is among the group of players to be released by the club when their contracts officially expire at the end of this month.

Lingard made just 20 appearances for Steve Cooper’s side and did not feature at all in their final seven games. The two goals he scored both came in the Carabao Cup.
