Udinese are interested in signing out-of-favor Emmanuel Dennis on a permanent deal from Nottingham Forest.

Dennis hasn’t played for Forest in their recent matches and Udinese will consider him as a replacement for Brazilian striker Beto, who has joined Everton.

The 24 year-old joined Forest last season from Watford FC but has failed to live up to expectations.​

He’s yet to feature for Forest this season and his last appearance was against Crystal Palace in May.

Udinese has history of signing Nigerian players, with Isaac Success and Maduka Okoye currently on their payroll.

Emmanuel Dennis had 19 appearances for Forest last season, scoring twice and assisting twice.
