Nottingham Forest have reportedly agreed on a deal to sign Burnley goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, according to Football Insider. The Reds have already completed the capture of Dean Henderson on loan from Manchester United for the 2022/23 campaign, but they could now be looking to further bolster the goalkeeping department at the City Ground.
Amidst increasing doubts over play-off hero Brice Samba’s future and the departure of American stopper Ethan Hovarth on a season-long loan to Luton Town, Steve Cooper is seemingly desperate to strengthen the options available to him as Forest’s last line of defence.
A fresh report has now suggested that the Welsh manager has done just that with the signing of a compatriot… As per Football Insider, Forest have ‘agreed a deal’ to sign 35-year-old stopper Hennessey this summer.
It is claimed that a ‘Forest source’ has informed the outlet that the club has ‘secured a full agreement’ to bring the 103-cap Wales veteran to the City Ground.
