Nottingham Forest in transfer talks with two clubs ahead of early exit

Nottingham Forest have "received two proposals" for striker Emmanuel Dennis, according to a report.

The striker, who joined Forest from Watford for £15million in the summer, has been made available for a transfer during the current transfer window, after just five months at the City Ground.

According to The Athletic, two unnamed clubs in the United States and Saudi Arabia have held verbal discussions with Forest over signing the striker. The Stateside club wants a loan with an obligation to buy, while the terms from a club in Saudi are as yet unclear. No formal offers have been made thus far.

It is said that Forest would be looking to make a profit on the £15million figure they paid for Dennis in the summer, despite the striker having only made three Premier League starts this season.

Dennis has scored three goals in 10 league appearances under Steve Cooper this season, but his performances have been somewhat underwhelming in Garibaldi red. That has come of something of a surprise after he scored 10 goals for a struggling Watford team in the Premier League last season.

It looks like Dennis will almost certainly be going to either the States or Saudi Arabia, given FIFA rules prevent him from joining any European club other than Watford. That is because he has already played for two teams - Watford and Forest - this season and is ineligible to play for a third.
