Nottingham Forest Set to Offload Four Players, Including Super Eagles’ Emmanuel Dennis

Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis is among four players expected to depart from Nottingham Forest before the end of the month.

The two-time European champions are under pressure to sell Dennis and three other players before the June 30 deadline to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

In March 2024, Nottingham Forest was penalized four points for breaching these rules. According to Football Insider, the club is prepared to part with Joe Worrall, Lewis O’Brien, Emmanuel Dennis, and Matt Turner.

Nottingham Forest is keen to avoid selling key players like Morgan Gibbs-White or Taiwo Awoniyi at a reduced price in the future.

Dennis joined Forest from Watford in 2022 but struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup under manager Steve Cooper, starting only nine games across all competitions in his first season at the City Ground.

He spent the first half of last season on loan at Turkish club Basaksehir FK before returning to Watford for a second spell in the January transfer window, albeit temporarily.

The Nigeria international, with two years remaining on his contract with Nottingham Forest, is not in the plans of manager Nuno Espirito Santo for the upcoming season and is up for sale.

Before moving to England, Dennis played for Zorya Luhansk, Club Brugge, and FC Cologne.
