Nottingham Forest has unveiled its 25-man squad for the highly anticipated 2024-2025 Premier League season, marking a new chapter as the team looks to build on previous performances and make a significant impact in the league. The squad includes several notable players, including Nigerians Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi, who have been confirmed for the upcoming campaign.
Amidst the excitement of the new season, Emmanuel Dennis finds himself in a period of uncertainty. The Nigerian forward, who had a loan spell at Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey for the first half of the previous season, returned to Watford for the remainder of the campaign. Despite making a notable contribution with four goals in 17 league appearances for Watford, Dennis was unable to secure a permanent contract with the club.
Dennis initially joined Nottingham Forest from Watford in 2022 and scored two goals in 19 league appearances during his first season. With two years remaining on his contract with Forest, Dennis has struggled to find his form, leading to speculation about his future with the club. The recent developments suggest that Dennis may be considered surplus to requirements due to his dip in performance.
As Nottingham Forest gears up for the new Premier League season, the club has officially registered its 25-man squad. The roster showcases a blend of experienced players and new signings, including several key names:

With the season set to commence, Nottingham Forest’s management and fans will be watching closely to see how the new squad integrates and performs. The inclusion of experienced players alongside emerging talent reflects the club’s ambition to compete effectively in the Premier League. For Emmanuel Dennis, the coming months will be crucial as he seeks to reclaim his form and secure his place in the squad, while Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi will be looking to make a strong impact for Forest in the upcoming season.
