Emmanuel Dennis: Notingham Forest Terminate Contract Of Super Eagles Star by Sportsmatter(op): 11:08am On Aug 31, 2025
Nottingham Forest Football Club officially announced the mutual termination of the contract of Nigerian international and Super Eagles star Emmanuel Dennis.

The decision marks the end of a challenging three-year tenure for the 27-year-old striker at the City Ground.

Emmanuel Dennis at Nottingham Forest

The Premier League club announced the departure of the Nigerian with a statement on social media.

Along with a photo the club said, "Nottingham Forest can confirm that Emmanuel Dennis has left the Club following the mutual termination of his contract.

"We wish Emmanuel well for the future."

Dennis had high expectations upon his £10 million transfer from Watford in 2022 signing a five-year contract.

Dennis arrived at Nottingham Forest having impressed during his time at Watford in the 2021-22 Premier League season.

He was nominated Premier League Player of the Month in November 2021 and was in top form on arrival from Belgium.

Since joining, Dennis was loaned to Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir for the 2023-24 season.

He also returned on loan to Watford, and later joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers for the 2024-25 season struggling to secure a regular place in the first team.

Despite his struggles on the pitch, Dennis has maintained a public profile off the field and has been spotted in the media with Nigerian DJ and billionaire’s daughter DJ Cuppy.

Taiwo Awoniyi could be on his way out too remaining Ola Aina. Football has gotten so competitive, if you don't stay in form you can go from player of the match to getting sidelined to getting removed from the team. All the best Emmanuel

Where has he been all this time?

I guess he already terminated himself before the club does.

Let him just leave football and continue to be a socialite.

He should just buy more ring lights and embrace his new calling.
Maybe he can be a sports social media commentator or something

Ehya... This football thing can be very tricky, one minute you are the best in the team and the next you are struggling to make first 11

Omo! I didn’t even know this guy plays for Nottingham forest. Hope you secure a good move to a club of your choice

I wonder what's wrong that a lot of Nigerian players don't play for long before fading in form and fitness.... Only the likes of osimen, Simon moses and lookman have managed to stay afloat for a long time
Re: Emmanuel Dennis: Notingham Forest Terminate Contract Of Super Eagles Star by Olatundex22(m): 11:39am On Aug 31, 2025
Okay at least he can focus on the social media and DJ fun lol
Re: Emmanuel Dennis: Notingham Forest Terminate Contract Of Super Eagles Star by Marvieduke(f): 11:39am On Aug 31, 2025
I saw this coming because he wasn't playing to the tactics of the coach and also the issues with the club management.... Well I wish him good luck if he sees another club

When I saw him with DJ cuppy, I knew his shine was over. From Anichebe to Joshua, once you hang out with Cuppy, you are toast.

May God help the young man.
It's not easy but God is faithful.
It's time to reassess and relaunch his carrier.

Ola leaving Forest will be to a bigger club because he is one of the best RB in the league.

Clubbing and partying while not attending training isn't much of a career.
Re: Emmanuel Dennis: Notingham Forest Terminate Contract Of Super Eagles Star by Nobody: 11:42am On Aug 31, 2025
He was busy doing owambe, with high and mighty,while his mates were focusing on football. May be otedola will employ him as sports instructor or fitness trainer for one of his daughters. Na so anichiebe follow d j cuppy till he forget say e be footballer, Joshua followed suit, now this

Football and sports generally is a short span carreer...Only a few can maintain consistency at the highest level.It requires high level of discipline and focus.

Thats why legends like Messi,Ronaldo,LeBron,Roque Santa's Cruz,Lewis Hamilton never ceases to amaze me playing almost into their forties and still holding it down.

Those guys are on another level.

tongue Emmanuel Dennis still plays football?He just disappeared like a candle in the wind.

Omo wetin happen to emmanuel dennis. He was a fine player at watford. Reason i respect Ronaldo so much..at the age of 40 man still shinning and raking in more money than any other player in the world.
Re: Emmanuel Dennis: Notingham Forest Terminate Contract Of Super Eagles Star by whippersnapper(m): 11:46am On Aug 31, 2025
Didn't even know he was still at Nottingham forest. One thing I noticed about the guy is he has sheer grace. The guy is not even that average. People who are more exceptional than him are still playing in sand

Football is just like sales. You're as good as your last game. Once you drop form for the next 5 matches, you'll become yesterday's news.

'Star'? Do words still have meaning on this forum? You can't just label every Tom, Dick and Harry as a star even when they don't have star quality

PlutoChief:

I guess he already terminated himself before the club does.
I watched one interview one year after Dennis signed. It was Dennis and Awoniyi in the interview and Dennis was already speaking with a British accent while Awoniyi maintained his deep Nigerian accent. It was at that moment that I knew Dennis would not make much of his career. Clearly, he was already carried away by the idea of belonging to a certain class. A man who is not confident enough to stand in the shade of his own shadow will arrive nowhere.

Maybe issue with fake age. I think it's the problem
