Danish Superliga side Brøndby IF have completed the signing of Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old has agreed a deal that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2028.
Dennis had been without a team since his contract with Premier League club Nottingham Forest was terminated last summer.
Brøndby decided to offer the Nigerian attacker a permanent deal after he impressed during a trial spell with the club.
“Emmanuel has shown us over the past week with all the clarity we could wish for that he possesses some skills that can give us more opportunities offensively, and that you don’t necessarily see every day in the Super League,” football director Benjamin Schmedes told the club’s official website.
“He has speed and breakthrough power, and he has shown that he is a threat in front of goal. At the same time, he brings valuable experience from a high international level.
“Equally important is that Emmanuel has clearly expressed that he now wants to be at Brøndby, while also showing that he is ready to invest the effort it takes to succeed here. All of this combined means that we are getting a really exciting player.”
Dennis, who has earned eight caps for Nigeria, also expressed his delight at joining the Danish outfit.
“I am very happy to have signed with the club. I have seen video clips of the fans. They have a lot of energy, and so do I. I really appreciate the club giving me this opportunity and I am very excited to get started. Hopefully we will achieve great things together,” Dennis said.
“The first week with the boys was fantastic. We found chemistry really quickly. They welcomed me so well that it felt like we had known each other for years. I could feel the love right away, and that made it even more attractive to me. Everyone was so nice and helpful, and I can’t wait to play on the same team as them, says our new offensive ace.”
Dennis is currently in England completing his residence and work permit formalities. He is expected to link up with Brøndby IF once the paperwork is finalised, a process the club says could run into February.
