Nottingham Forest 'agree £20m deal for Watford's Emmanuel Dennis' - their THIRTEENTH summer signing - taking spending to revamp Steve Cooper's squad past £100m

Nottingham Forest are reportedly on the verge of their 13th signing of the summer as they close in on a deal for Watford's Emmanuel Dennis.

Steve Cooper has sought to revamp the Forest squad this summer after a number of players who were influential in their promotion via the play-offs last season either left or saw their loan deals expire.

With Watford having gone the other way to Forest this campaign, it had been expected that Dennis, who impressed for the Hornets last term, would depart the club this summer.

Watford's relatively high price for the player appeared to put some suitors off earlier in the summer but Forest have taken advantage and seen their bid of around £20m accepted, according to The Athletic.
