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.
Steve Cooper is now focusing his efforts on signing Manchester United goalkeeper Henderson and he could become one of their first signings of the summer, alongside Union Berlin forward Taiwo Aweniyi who underwent a medical on June 23.
