The future of Nigeria international forward Emmanuel Dennis at English Premier League side Nottingham Forest is unsure with the club willing to listen to offers for him in January.
Dennis was signed for around £15m from Watford five months ago but has only started three games and scored once. He infuriated the coaches during the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United when he was introduced as a second half substitute.
He was largely blamed for his role in the visitors third goal which came when they were pushing to reduce the deficit. That and the fact he hasn’t nailed down a permanent spot in the starting lineup has hastened the decision to offload the 25 year old before January 31 when the transfer window closes.
The idea is to let him leave in order to create space in the squad for the registration of new players who will join the club in January. Dennis has already played for Watford this season meaning he can only leave for a club abroad or return to Watford.
It is believed he will be open to a return to Watford if they have interest in bringing him back to the club as they bid to gain promotion back to the top division. Teams abroad have also been made aware of his availability by his representatives.
He isn’t the only player with a bleak future at the club on the grounds of poor attitude with Harry Arter being the other player. He has not played for the club since January 2021 as his attitude has infuriated officials leading to his banishment to the academy despite the fact that he is on £40,000 a week pay.
