Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis.

The 24-year-old - who arrived at Vicarage Road from Club Brugge last summer - had previously been a target for West Ham United.

David Moyes's side were reportedly looking to sign Dennis in a £20m deal, but they have since decided against the move.

However, the forward could still be on his way out of Watford, with The Sun reporting that Nottingham Forest are looking to bring Dennis to the City Ground.

Steve Cooper believes that the player's ability to play across the forward line would make him a good addition to the squad.

With four years left on his current contract, the Premier League club are hoping to sign Dennis on a loan deal with an option to buy, while Watford would prefer to make a quick sale.

Dennis scored 10 goals in 33 appearances last season and has started both of Watford's matches in the Championship this term.
