Nottingham set to oversee another transfer deadline day exit

Attacker Emmanuel Dennis is close to completing a deadline day departure from Nottingham Forest.

The 27-year-old looks set to link up with Blackburn Rovers. According to The Standard, it will be a six-month loan deal with the Reds having “decided against” including an option to buy.

Dennis is said to be set to undergo a medical in advance of the move being finalised. He has been linked with a number of clubs, but it appears Rovers have won the chase for his signature.

The Nigerian found himself out of favour at the City Ground. He was left out of the Reds’ 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season and has not featured for the club since May 2023.

Reports suggested Dennis had discussions with former side Watford as well as French outfit Toulouse about securing a move. German team Werder Bremen were also credited with an interest in clinching his signature and Sheffield Wednesday were recently linked.
