Leeds Backed To Make Move For £42k-A-Week Attacker

Leeds United can be clever to make a transfer for Nottingham Forest attacker Emmanuel Dennis in the summertime switch window, based on journalist Dean Jones.

The place is Emmanuel Dennis at present?

The Whites are getting ready for all times again within the Championship after three seasons away, with Daniel Farke tasked with guiding them again into the Premier League as rapidly as attainable. There’s an inevitability about some key gamers leaving earlier than the brand new marketing campaign will get underway, which can solely heighten the necessity for top-quality signing to return in and alleviate the lack of them.

A kind of who may doubtlessly are available in is Dennis, who joined Forest from Watford final summer time, being a part of an enormous inflow of signings on the Metropolis Floor in 2022, following their return to the highest flight. His first yr on the membership was a largely forgettable one, nevertheless, with solely 19 appearances and 6 begins coming his approach within the Premier League, in addition to a tally of solely two objectives and assists apiece.

The £42,000-a-week attacker is contracted to Forest till the summer time of 2026, nevertheless it could possibly be that he leaves sooner slightly than later, with the Reds not essentially seeing him as an necessary determine transferring ahead. That is the place Leeds come into play, with a change to Elland Street probably on the playing cards within the coming weeks.

This comes after it was reported that Leeds are pondering a transfer for the attacker.

Is Emmanuel Dennis any good?

Talking to Give Me Sport, switch skilled Jones talked up the concept of Leeds signing Dennis this summer time, seeing him as a wonderful choice to affix the Farke revolution and get them again into the Premier League:

“I imply, Emmanuel Dennis can be nice. I feel that’s precisely the kind of participant that may get you the objectives to get straight again to the Premier League.”

Whereas Dennis admittedly hasn’t set the world alight in a Forest shirt since arriving there final yr, he could possibly be a very shrewd signing by Leeds, particularly contemplate their drop all the way down to the Championship, and the truth that he may thrive much more towards lesser defenders in that division.

The 25-year-old, who has won eight caps for Nigeria and scored as soon as for his nation, has netted 12 instances in 52 Premier League appearances – a stable return, contemplating he has usually been taking part in for struggling groups – and he could possibly be a super substitute for somebody like Jack Harrison, Wilfried Gnonto or Rodrigo, ought to any of them transfer on.

The truth that Dennis, who has been known as an “interesting” participant, is able to being a central attacker taking part in and likewise working on the left-hand facet needs to be seen as an added bonus for the Whites, giving Farke extra choice throughout his front-line, and he may stand out as some of the harmful attackers within the Championship subsequent season.

Maybe the largest subject surrounding the transfer coming to fruition is whether or not Dennis is comfortable to drop down a division, but when he’s promised a daily beginning position as an alternative of being little greater than a squad participant, he may bounce on the probability, particularly if he believes Leeds shall be again within the high flight sooner slightly than later.
