Nottingham Forest interested in loan move for Super Eagles star

Nottingham Forest have signified interest in Nigerian forward, as they push for a loan move 

Emmanuel Dennis has featured twice for Watford in the Championship this season but may still end up playing in the Premier League.

According to SkySports, the former Club Brugge forward is on the radar of the Reds as they seek to bolster their squad.

Nottingham Forest were given a cold entrance in their first game after they returned to the Premier League in more than a decade.

Newcastle defeated Forest 2-0 and the owner, Evangelis Marinakis is still willing to invest in the squad.

Forest got Taiwo Awoniyi for £17.5m earlier in the window and have gotten Orel Mangala, Neco Williams, Jesse Lingard and Omar Richards since then.

They’re however in the hunt for Dennis, the Nigerian forward who scored 10 goals in the Premier League last season and shot to prominence in the league.

Dennis was voted in the Championship Player of the week in the opening week and hasn’t looked out of place so far, playing with much sharpness.

Nottingham Forest are however reluctant to sanction a permanent transfer yet as Dennis is valued at £20m.

With six assists last season, his 16 goal contributions was one of the highest in the league and by far, Watford’s best.

The Nigerian has four years left on his contract and Watford are in a comfortable position.
