Nottingham Forest are making some serious moves this summer.

The Tricky Trees returned to the Premier League for the first time in over 20 years this summer, and they’re doing all they can to make sure they remain in the top-flight for the foreseeable future.

Indeed, Forest have been one of the busiest teams in England during this summer transfer window, and they’re not finished yet.


if reports are to be believed, Jesse Lingard could be on his was to the City Ground despite 18 months’ worth of links to West Ham, and now, the Daily Mail are reporting that another Hammers target could be snapped up by the East Midlands outfit.

The Daily Mail state that the Reds could now target a move for Watford’s Emmanuel Dennis as they look to bolster their attack.

Forest certainly need some more depth up front. Yes, they’ve signed Taiwo Awoniyi, but the departures of Lewis Grabban, Keinan Davis and Phillip Zinckernagel have still left them rather short in the attack.

Dennis could be headed to Trentside, and there’s reason to believe this could be a fantastic signing.

The Nigerian was a revelation at Watford last term, he got off to a flying start in the Premier League, and while he slowed down towards the end of the campaign, he finished up with a very respectable tally of 10 goals.

If Dennis could replicate that form for Forest next term he could play a massive part in helping Steve Cooper’s side stay up, and while he wouldn’t be cheap at a reported £25m, he could be well worth the money if he can hit double figures once again.
