Rumour Mill: Emmanuel Dennis shuns big money advances from Saudi move

By Saheed Afolabi

Nigeria forward, Emmanuel Dennis is on the verge of leaving Nottingham Forest after having a torrid time at the English Premier League club.

Though no official bid have been received by Nottingham Forest for the 25 year old striker, he’s deemed surplus to requirements at the club after failing to make a major impact following his move from Watford.

Dennis have a contract that will keep him at Forest till 2026 but he’s interested in a move away from the club after having playing time hard to come by and falling short of the team expectations.

However, the Super Eagles forward is focused on securing a club in Europe as he isn’t interested in the booming Saudi League.

After scoring ten goals and recording six assists for Watford in the 2021/2022 season, Dennis have failed to replicate the success he had at Watford to the Forest.

The Nigerian have recorded two goals and three assists in 25 appearances for the Reds and have fallen short the pecking order at the club.

Despite been a skilled player, the former Club Brugge forward couldn’t live up to the expectations or the hype that followed his arrival at Forest.
