Dean Henderson signs
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has become Nottingham Forest’s second signing of the summer transfer window.
The Reds have confirmed the arrival of the 25-year-old on a season-long loan from Manchester United. The deal does not include an option to buy the player. He follows forward Taiwo Awoniyi in putting pen to paper for Steve Cooper’s side.
Henderson will link up with his new teammates as they prepare to travel to Spain for a training camp as part of their build-up to the Premier League campaign. He could get his first run-out when Forest face Coventry City in their opening friendly next Friday.

Thirteen of his 29 appearances for his parent club have come in the league, while he secured promotion to the top tier on loan at Sheffield United and returned for a second spell at Bramall Lane following their step up.
One goalkeeper out as one arrives
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Ethan Horvath has joined Championship side Luton Town on a season-long loan.
His departure forms part of what will be a major shake-up of the goalkeeping department at the City Ground. The Reds completed the signing of Dean Henderson on loan from Manchester United, with Brice Samba in line to return to France, likely with Lens.
Henderson will be Steve Cooper's first choice, with Horvath keen to get regular games to stake his claim for a place in the USA's World Cup squad, hence his move to Kenilworth Road.
Wales keeper Wayne Hennessey will reportedly replace Horvath as the Reds' number two. Horvath, 27, joined Forest on a free transfer from Club Brugge a year ago.
Medical set for defender
Nottingham Forest are close to signing Troyes defender Giulian Biancone with the player reportedly having his medical yesterday (Saturday, July 2).
Nottinghamshire Live understands that the 22-year-old will have a medical ahead of a move to the City Ground in the coming hours. Biancone, who has played primarily as a right-back, but has also featured at centre-back and even left-back during his fledgling career, has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past two seasons, which could continue with a move to the Premier League.
The AS Monaco academy graduate was handed his debut for the Principality club by then-manager Thierry Henry during the tail end of their Champions League campaign in the autumn of 2018. Five more appearances followed that season, including a goalscoring debut in the now-defunct Coupe de la Ligue against Lorient in a Round of 16 tie.
Breakthrough for Mainz man
Nottingham Forest have reportedly made a major breakthrough in their bid to sign Moussa Niakhate.
The Reds had been in talks over a move for the centre-back, as head coach Steve Cooper looks to strengthen his defensive ranks. A fee upwards of £10m has been mooted, after a difference in valuation had been a stumbling block. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says a fee has now been agreed and Nottinghamshire Live understands the player was already keen to come to the City Ground.
Romano tweeted: "Nottingham Forest are getting closer to signing Moussa Niakhaté, deal at final stages. Agreement in principle with Mainz on the fee - some details to be sorted out.
"Niakhaté, expected to become the next signing after Awoniyi, Dean Henderson and Giulian Biancone."
