Headline24jam.com – Nigerian international forward Emmanuel Dennis is now available for a free transfer after Nottingham Forest terminated his contract by mutual consent. The 27-year-old last played for Forest in 2023, following loan spells at Istanbul Basaksehir, Watford, and Blackburn Rovers.
Emmanuel Dennis Leaves Nottingham Forest
With the transfer window closing soon, Nottingham Forest has officially announced Dennis’s departure. This mutual agreement means he is free to join any club, sparking interest from various teams across Europe and the English Football League (EFL).
Hull City Could Benefit from Signing Dennis
Given Hull City’s current transfer fee restrictions until next summer, signing Dennis could be an astute move. The club is only permitted to acquire players on loan or for free, and Dennis represents a potential gem to strengthen their offense, especially if he regains his best form.
Hull City currently holds four points from their initial four matches, with a recent win over Oxford United, a draw against Coventry City, and losses to Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City. Under new manager Sergej Jakirovic, the team is looking to enhance their squad.
The Tigers have already welcomed players like Oli McBurnie, Semi Ajayi, and Akin Famewo on free transfers, while adding John Lundstram and Joe Gelhardt on loan. With injuries affecting players such as Liam Millar and the possible exit of Abu Kamara, attacking reinforcements are becoming essential.
Dennis’s Career Experience
At just 27 years old, Dennis has accumulated significant experience playing in multiple countries, including Ukraine, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, and England. His initial stint in English football with Watford was notable, as he scored 10 goals and provided six assists in his first Premier League season, despite the team being relegated.
His performance earned him a transfer to Nottingham Forest for £20 million in August 2022. Unfortunately, his time there was marred by limited appearances, contributing to just 19 games in the Premier League before embarking on three loan spells.
Despite recently playing only six matches for Blackburn Rovers, Dennis boasts over 75 goal contributions in approximately 250 career appearances along with eight caps for Nigeria. His versatility in playing both as a winger and forward could offer vital support alongside Hull’s target man, Oli McBurnie.
Signing Dennis would be a significant move for Hull City, allowing them to adhere to their transfer limitations while potentially securing a high-impact player without the obligation of a transfer fee.
