Emmanuel Dennis signs for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Emmanuel Dennis from Championship side Watford.

Forest confirmed the signing in a statement on their website on Saturday.

Dennis joined Super Eagles teammate Taiwo Awoniyi at Forest after signing a four-year deal believed to be worth £20 million.

“Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the signing of striker Emmanuel Dennis from Watford,” the 1979 and 1980 European Cup (now Champions League) winners wrote.

“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!”
