Nottingham Forest 'presented' with surprise transfer swap opportunity

Nottingham Forest have been 'presented' with a deal to sign Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.

The reported transfer would involve a swap for Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis, who has been made available this month despite only arriving at the City Ground in August.

Dennis arrived from Watford for around £15million in the summer, but is now said to be surplus to requirements and is free to find a new club, although Steve Cooper has played this down. Having already played for Watford and Forest this season, though, Dennis is ineligible to join a third European side.

He could return to Watford, and that is the opportunity being presented to Forest. According to the Mirror, Forest could sign Sarr in a straight swap for Dennis.

Sarr has scored six goals and assisted another five in 21 Championship games this season, and is set for a move back to the Premier League. He almost joined Aston Villa over the summer but that move fell through.

Forest head coach Cooper could now be set to get his man. The 24-year-old has experience in the Premier League, scoring five goals from out wide in a relegated Watford team last season.

Do you think Forest can pull this swap deal off? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
