Newly signed Blackburn Rovers striker, Emmanuel Dennis, has assured the club’s supporters that they can expect great things from him after completing his loan move from Nottingham Forest on the winter transfer deadline day.
The Super Eagles forward brings a wealth of experience, having played in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, and is expected to enhance the team with his skills.
The 27-year-old, who has also had a stint at Watford, expressed his determination to help Blackburn achieve success this season.
“Rovers are in a very good position, and the team plays great football,” Dennis said in his first interview with RoversTV.
“I hope I can add something to the team so we can have a good time together. Goals are no problem for me, but I also enjoy bringing excitement to the fans—doing tricks, nutmegs, and creating those fun moments.
“That’s what fans come to the stadium for: enjoyment, happy moments, and victories.
“People come out in the cold to watch us, so we have to give them something in return.”
