Forest Join Chase For Super Eagles Star, Dennis
Nottingham Forest are exploring a deal to sign Watford want-away striker Emmanuel Dennis.
The ambitious City Ground club have already spent in excess of £70m on new players including Taiwo Awoniyi and haven’t finished there as they look to strengthen their midfield and attack.
Dennis who scored 10 Premier League goals for Watford despite their relegation last season, is seen as a cheaper option to the club’s primary target Jesse Lingard who is demanding £180,000-a-week wage.
According to Daily Mail, Forest manager Steve Cooper admires his pace and versatility which he believes suit what Forest want in their front line.
A number of clubs including Everton, West Ham, Newcastle United and Villarreal have been credited with interest and Watford want around £25m for the 24-year old.
The Nigeria international only cost Watford £3m when they signed him from Bruges a year ago and the proposed profit margin would represent another astute piece of transfer business by the club.
Dennis was on target for the Hornets in their 4-1 pre-season friendly win against Wycombe Wanderers at London Colney on Saturday.
