THE 24 year old striker was on target for Watford against Chelsea which ended in a 2-1 loss, this makes it the 3rd time in a row the forward has netted a goal.
Dennis last featured for the team in 2020 as a late substitute for Kelechi Iheanacho in the 82nd minute in the team’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone in Freetown on November 17, 2020.
With the absence of Nigeria's number 9, Victor Osimhen due to an injury that affected his eye region, Dennis Emmanuel would be an amazing replacement for the forthcoming AFCON.
In fact, comparing both players league stat, Dennis appears to be ahead of the Napoli's forward. Dennis recorded 6 goals and 5 assits in 13 Premier League games, while Osimhen has 5 goals and 0 assists in 11 serie A games.
Dennis can also provide the physical dominance exhibited by Victor Osimhen as he is a player with the technique and speed.
Hopefully, Gernot Rohr can see the facts and recall Dennis Emmanuel back to the Nigeria squad.
