Emmanuel Dennis to snub offer from Champions League team to join Watford for the third time

Emmanuel Dennis left Nottingham Forest after a mutual termination of contract in August…

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis could sign for his former club Watford in the coming days, Soccernet.ng reports.

Dennis has been unattached since August, when he and Nottingham Forest reached an agreement to terminate his contract as he was deemed as surplus to requirements.

Since then, he has been linked with many clubs. It looked like he was set to join Scottish Premiership champions Celtic, but the transfer did not materialize eventually. However, it appears that the Super Eagles striker might be close to joining a club.

According to reports from Daily Mail, the 27-year-old forward is on the radar of Watford. Recall that he has good history with the club, having spent two different stints with them in the 2021/22 Premier League season, and in the Championship two seasons ago.

Emmanuel Dennis Willing To Snub UCL Football For Watford

According to the report, Emmanuel Dennis had an offer from Pafos, a Cypriot club, who are in the UEFA Champions League, but he wants to remain in a top league in Europe.

As such, he would be willing to join Watford if they can agree on personal6 terms.

The Super Eagles forward was their best player three seasons ago, with his contribution of ten goals and six assists in 33 games. But that cojkd not save them from relegation.

Nonetheless, Dennis will be hoping to replicate that brilliance if the deal works out and possibly spur the Hornets to Premier League promotion.
