Leeds United are reportedly looking at a move for Nottingham Forest attacker Emmanuel Dennis with the attacker keen to leave the City Ground – but The Telegraph say he also has interest in him from Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Dennis, 25, joined Forest last summer from Watford for £20m. It comes after scoring 10 goals and laying on six assists in the Premier League with the Hornets, before relegation. Forest swooped to take him to the City Ground.
But the Nigeria striker has struggled for game time and momentum. Just 25 outings have come his way, scoring only two goals and laying on three assists. Of those 25 games, only nine have come the start for Steve Cooper.
According to Complete Sports, Leeds have identified Dennis as a possible signing to bolster their attack and push for instant promotion back to the Premier League. Now, The Telegraph deliver an update on the future of Dennis.
They report that Dennis not only has interest from Leeds, but also the potential of a big-money move to Saudi Arabia – where so many huge names have already gone this summer. Russian Premier League clubs are also keen.
Leeds looking at Dennis: Also has interest from Saudi Arabia and Russia
Dennis would be a wonderful signing for Leeds. His form for Watford in a Premier League campaign that saw the Hornets relegated was simply wonderful. It comes after 42 goal involvements in 116 games for Club Brugge, too.
He is a serious player and while he can play out wide, he is best as a striker – more than able to play up front as part of a two-man partnership. Perhaps, combining with Bamford, Dennis can fire Leeds back to promotion this season.
But if Leeds are to convince him, then it will have to be a decent offer. Russian clubs have cash to spend and the option of European football – while Saudi clubs have enormous wages on offer. Dennis has a big decision to make.
