Why Dean Henderson and Nottingham Forest need each other to solve their own big problem

Nottingham Forest are in talks to sign goalkeeper Dean Henderson this summer as they look to secure the services of a vital player from last season on a permanent deal.

The shot-stopper impressed during his loan spell at the City Ground last season having made important saves for the Reds earlier in the campaign before picking up a season-ending injury in January. One-nil wins over West Ham and Liverpool are just a few notable examples of games in 2022/23 which would have been a different story without Henderson between the sticks.

Keylor Navas also often performed heroics in goal when he arrived on loan from Paris-Saint Germain after Henderson's injury. The Costa Rican's contribution to securing Forest's Premier League status for another season should not be forgotten, but signing the three-time Champions League winner on a permanent deal was always going to be less realistic.
