The Super Eagle will continue his professional career with the newly promoted English topflight side Nottingham Forest has confirmed the signing of Emmanuel Dennis from English Championship side Watford.
Although the Reds did not disclose the transfer details, reports suggested that the Nigeria international penned a four-year contract with the newly-promoted Premier League side. With this, Dennis – who becomes Forest’s 13th summer signing – will represent the City Ground outfit until 2026.
“The 24-year-old forward arrives on Trentside having hit double figures for The Hornets last season, returning 10 goals from 33 Premier League starts.
“Prior to arriving in England, Dennis’ first professional venture was in Ukraine’s top-flight with Zorya Luhansk before enjoying a productive four-year spell in Belgium with Club Brugge, notably scoring twice in a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid in the group stages of the 2019/20 Uefa Champions League.
“With seven international caps to date for Nigeria, the pacey forward links up with fellow countryman Taiwo Awoniyi to bolster The Reds’ attacking options. Welcome to The City Ground, Emmanuel!”
He could make his Forest debut against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon. Cooper’s side made a shaky start to life in the English elite division following a 2-0 away defeat versus Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
