Nottingham Forest have had the door opened to sign Dean Henderson thanks to Newcastle United's transfer activity.

The Magpies have all-but confirmed the signing of Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope having booked the 30-year-old in for a medical on Thursday (June 23). Forest themselves had been linked with a move for Pope after Brice Samba surprisingly declared his intention to depart the City Ground after rejecting a new deal.
