Nigeria international Emmanuel Dennis has been formally assigned the No.25 jersey after joining recently promoted English Premier League team Nottingham Forest on Saturday in a club record £20 million deal, according to ANAEDOONLINE.NG Sports Extra.
After completing his move from relegated Watford, the striker’s signing was announced last weekend.
Over the weekend, Forest completed three new signings and assigned jersey numbers to each player.
“Squad numbers for recent new signings Emmanuel Dennis, Remo Freuler and Cheikhou Kouyaté have been confirmed for the 2022/23 campaign,” the club wrote.
“After arriving from Watford on Saturday evening, Nigeria international Dennis will wear squad number 25.
“Switzerland international Freuler put pen-to-paper on Trentside on Sunday after signing from Atalanta, with the midfielder wearing number 23.
“Senegal international Kouyaté signed a two-year contract at The City Ground and will wear number 21.”
The 25-year-old Dennis is expected to strengthen the Reds’ attack and will play alongside compatriot Taiwo Awoniyi, who also recently joined the Premier League newcomers from Union Berlin.
Dennis has also been confirmed available for this weekend’s clash with Everton, who are without a point this season, in contrast to Forest, who have lost one and won one of their opening two games.
Watford Coach Reveals Why Nigeria’s Dennis May Miss AFCON
Forest manager Steve Cooper will hope the former Watford striker can replicate his last season’s form with the Hornets, when he scored 10 league goals with another six assists.
The Nigerian scored on his Premier League debut for Watford last season and he would hope to hit the ground running for his new employers on Saturday.
