Only three goals in the last eight Bundesliga games – at Effzeh it is sick in the attack department. Dennis should now revive them. “Emmanuel is a fast player who can be used in the center of the storm and on the outside lanes,” says Horst Heldt, describing the first winter newcomer, who comes on loan from Club Bruges and the billy goats in their efforts to keep the class until the end of the season should support. “With the quality of his graduation, he made his way into the books of numerous top clubs last season,” the FC managing director continued.
At least in the Champions League, Dennis has proven his goal scorer. In four games in the premier class, he met once and provided an assist. In Belgium’s premier league, however, he went empty-handed in nine appearances. In the group stage he was in the starting line-up in the 3-0 draw against Dortmund (kicker rating 4.5). In the second leg in Dortmund at the end of November, he was not in the squad because he “did not follow the club’s rules”, as coach Philippe Clement told “Nieuwsblad” at the time. Allegedly he did not accept the seat provided for him on the bus and left the bus.
I’m aware of the sporting situation at FC – that’s why I want to make my contribution to keeping our class with as many appearances and goals as possible in a top league.
In the first Belgian league he also missed a few games “because of a family matter”, as FC announced. “The last half year has not been easy for me,” said the three-time Nigerian international. “Since I want to play and score goals, I really wanted a change in the current transfer phase,” said Dennis, explaining his move.
“I’m glad that I’m with FC now. I am aware of the sporting situation at FC – that’s why I want to make my contribution to keeping our class with as many appearances and goals as possible in a top league.” The new attacker, who will wear the number 43 shirt in the future, should start training on Wednesday.
