Emmanuel Dennis to undergo medical ahead of Basaksehir loan move

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis is set to undergo medical tests ahead of his loan move to Istanbul Basaksehir from Nottingham Forest.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano stated this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) early Friday morning.

“Emmanuel Dennis will travel today to Istanbul in order to complete his move to Istanbul Basaksehir,” Romano wrote.

“Nottingham Forest approved loan deal with salary covered. NO buy option. Medical booked, here we go confirmed.”

Dennis has been heavily linked with a move away from Forest after he found himself surplus to requirements at The City Ground.

The transfer window in the UK shut almost two weeks ago, but it remains open in Turkey until tonight.

Basaksehir are now about to take advantage of that, with Dennis all set to make the move to Turkey in the coming hours.

The Super Eagles attacker joined Forest from Watford for £20million 13 months ago.

He played 25 times under Steve Cooper last season from which he scored two goals and provided three assists.

On Thursday, Romano revealed Basaksehir had reached a deal with the Premier League side and that the contract has no buy-out clause.
