Nottingham Forest are said to be getting closer to a deal to capture Manchester United midfielder Dean Henderson. More information on the transfer is already becoming available.
The Reds are optimistic of re-signing the 26-year-old midfielder they had on loan last season. Henderson appeared in 20 games for Forest, keeping six clean sheets until suffering a season-ending injury in January.
Sky Sports believes Henderson is now firmly in Forest’s sights. He claims that talks are going well and that the Reds are optimistic in their ability to complete the transaction.
Furthermore, it’s believed that Forest will create a little loophole to get around FFP. They will take Henderson on loan, with a fee set to be agreed that means the Reds have to sign the goalkeeper permanently next summer.
United are now happy to let Henderson leave this summer. They’ve completed the capture of Andre Onana from Inter and are also eyeing Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
Henderson is only 26 and that makes him a very decent addition to the Forest ranks if a deal can be struck. He could become the club’s senior goalkeeper for the best part of a decade and he’d represent value for money.
Sander Berge has previously called Henderson ‘insane’ for his exploits at Sheffield United; whilst Steve Cooper labelled him ‘exceptional’ during his time between the posts for Forest last term.
This news will delight Forest and the club will hope to crank up their summer activity now. Ola Aina has already checked in as a free transfer, whilst Anthony Elanga has also checked in on Trentside.
Forest is getting closer to a deal with Henderson.
It’s been the most talked-about Forest transfer all summer, but it may be coming to an end. It’s difficult to know what’s going on behind the scenes, but Henderson appears to be eager to relocate.
The Reds would have made a very wise signing. Henderson dazzled the fans last season, with several of his outstanding displays helping Forest maintain their Premier League status.
Now he could be back, and this time he might stay! The Reds will need to maintain their Premier League position for several years, and if they do, additional high-profile additions are likely.
Henderson embraced the attitude that Cooper attempted to instill at Forest last season. Now, the head coach is planning to reinforce his squad by signing the number one, which would be a great addition to the Reds’ ranks.
The word “edging closer” appears to have been used throughout the summer. However, things may be moving now, and the Reds should complete this transaction as soon as possible.
