Nottingham Forest have stepped up their preparations for a first Premier League season since 1999 by securing deals to sign the goalkeeper Dean Henderson from Manchester United and the striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin.
Henderson is joining on loan for the season, with no option to buy, and the move is due to be completed once the 25-year-old returns from a break. Henderson has Premier League experience with Sheffield United as well as Manchester United and will hope the move can push him back into England contention.
