Nottingham Forest 'exploring a deal' to sign £25m-rated striker

Nottingham Forest are reportedly "exploring a deal" for Watford star Emmanuel Dennis.

Forest's ambition ahead of their Premier League return next month is clear as Steve Cooper continues to bolster his ranks following promotion to the top flight. With 10 signings already through the door, it appears the Welsh boss will not be stopping there.

Free agent Jesse Lingard has been linked with a move to the City Ground, and now Dennis has emerged as another possibility, according to the Daily Mail. The 24-year-old made 35 outings for the Hornets last term, scoring 10 goals as they were relegated to the Championship.

His versatility and pace is reportedly an element that Cooper is keen to bring to Forest's front line. However, plenty of other clubs, including Everton and Villarreal, have apparently also been keeping tabs with the Nigeria international.

With his current deal set to run out in 2026, Watford have slapped a £25million price tag on the striker. He initially cost the Hertfordshire-based side £3m from Club Brugge last year.
