Nigerian striker, Emmanuel Dennis has joined EFL Championship Blackburn Rovers from Nottingham Forest striker for the remainder of the season.
The 27-year-old had spells at Istanbul Basaksehir and Watford last season and has not played for Forest since the final game of the 2022-23 campaign.
The signing of the Nigerian international makes him the fourth Super Eagles star to don the club’s colours after Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Dickson Etuhu, and Hope Akpan.
Dennis will now look to revive his career in the EFL Championship, following in the footsteps of Aiyegbeni, who had a prolific spell with Rovers, scoring 18 goals and providing two assists in 33 appearances.
Speaking to RoversTV, Dennis expressed his enthusiasm about the move and his desire to contribute to the team’s success.
“Rovers are in a very good position and the team plays good football, so I hope I can add a bit of something to the team for us to have a good time together,” he said.
Dennis, known for his flair and technical ability, emphasized that he is not just focused on scoring goals but also on bringing entertainment to the pitch.
“Goals are no problem, but I also like having fun, showing tricks, nutmegs and exciting the fans, because that’s what they come to the stadium to see,” he added. “They come for fun, some happy moments and victories.”
