Emmanuel Dennis likely to leave Nottingham Forest in summer transfer window

Emmanuel Dennis is highly likely to leave Nottingham Forest this summer.

Representatives of the 25-year-old have started the process of holding exploratory talks with potential interested parties. The Nigeria international is

understood to be comfortable with the option of a departure if the right opportunity presents itself.

Forest are yet to receive an official offer for the striker but are also known to be open to discussions over an exit.

Further talks are planned over a proposed departure in the near future between representatives and the club hierarchy.

Forest signed Dennis from Watford last summer for a fee in the region of £15million on a four-year contract. The Championship club will receive a

sell-on percentage if he were to move on again.

Dennis was among 22 players brought in by the club following promotion to the Premier League in 2021-22.

He failed to make a significant impact, scoring two goals in 19 Premier League appearances. Both came at the City Ground in matches against Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Dennis is said to be keen to remain in Europe and at this stage is not contemplating a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Forest start the 2023-24 Premier League campaign at Arsenal on August 12.
