Prior to arriving in England, Dennis’ first professional venture was in Ukraine’s top-flight with Zorya Luhansk before enjoying a productive four-year spell in Belgium with Club Brugge, notably scoring twice in a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid in the group stages of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League.
With seven international caps to date for Nigeria, the pacey forward links up with fellow countryman Taiwo Awoniyi to bolster The Reds’ attacking options.
Dennis was called up to represent Nigeria for the first time in 2019, making his debut in an international friendly against Ukraine before featuring in a 2-2 draw against Brazil four days later. His most recent appearance for his nation came in June this year and has seven caps to date.
Welcome to The City Ground, Emmanuel!
