When Emmanuel Dennis joined Nottingham Forest for £20 million in the summer of 2022, hopes were high that the Super Eagles forward would make an immediate impact and be a huge success at the club.
Fast forward to 2024, and the £20 million signing has become a mere afterthought at the City Ground, Footballrover reports.
With just one appearance for Forest in 2023, the once-promising forward now faces an uncertain future.
Could January be the end of the road for Dennis at Forest?
A forgotten player at Forest and the likely exit of Emmanuel Dennis in January
Dennis has hardly featured for Forest since his last appearance in May 2023 against Crystal Palace.
After stints on loan at both Basaksehir and Watford, he returned to Forest, only to find himself completely sidelined.
The club, already struggling with a lack of depth in certain positions, has no room for Dennis, leaving him out of the first-team squad.
Despite a string of injuries to key players like Willy Boly and Harry Toffolo, Dennis has not been considered as a potential solution.
Forest’s need for reinforcements has only highlighted how far out of favour Dennis has fallen.
As Forest looks to streamline their squad in the upcoming transfer window, Dennis is expected to be one of the players shown the door.
His lack of playing time since returning from loan makes it clear that the club no longer sees him as part of their plans.
With limited opportunities ahead, selling Dennis in January may be the most pragmatic solution for all parties involved.
While Forest’s initial £20 million investment in Emmanuel Dennis might seem like a loss, any fee secured in January will be better than losing him for nothing.
It seems almost inevitable that the forgotten £20 million signing is already on his way out with the January window approaching.
