Report: Super Eagles star set to complete ₦9billion Nottingham Forest transfer

The Nigerian hitman’s future has been in the balance for months, but it appears he is close to resolving his future

Premier League club Nottingham Forest have agreed to a £17million (₦9billion) deal with Watford for the procurement of Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis according to reports

Dennis had a sterling individual campaign with Watford in the Premier League last season with ten goals and six assists in 33 league appearances.

Despite joining the Hornets from Club Brugge for €4million, the Super Eagles striker turned out to be the shining light in a dark campaign that saw Watford get relegated.

However, Dennis’ displays did not unnoticed, as he has attracted interest, with West Ham, Villarreal, and Newcastle all linked with a potential move.

However, a transfer to newly-promoted Nottingham Forest has grown stronger in recent days. According to Transfer news live, Watford have accepted a €17million bid for the 24-year-old, and a deal is set to be completed soon.

If Dennis completes the deal, he would be the second Nigerian first team player at the club, alongside Taiwo Awoniyi.
