Qudus Salihu✍️ Farke Greenlights Free Agent Emmanuel Dennis After Thorp Arch SightingLeeds United manager Daniel Farke appears set to bolster his attacking options with the signing of free agent forward Emmanuel Dennis, after the Nigerian international was reportedly spotted training with the squad at Thorp Arch.
The presence of the 27-year-old at the club’s training ground signals a significant step towards a potential deal, with sources suggesting Farke has given his approval for the acquisition. This move comes as Leeds look to add proven quality and depth, particularly in the forward line.
Dennis became a free agent following his departure from Nottingham Forest, a club he joined after a prolific debut Premier League campaign with Watford in the 2021/22 season, where he notched 10 goals and 6 assists. His ability to play across the front line—as a centre-forward or on either wing—offers Farke valuable tactical flexibility.While his time at Forest was less impactful, his track record demonstrates the raw speed, power, and clinical edge that could prove invaluable in the club’s campaign.
The opportunity to sign a player of Dennis’s pedigree outside of a transfer window is a significant draw, representing a low-risk move for a potentially high-reward player.His sighting with the team suggests a focus on assessing his fitness and integration with the squad before a contract is finalised. For Dennis, a move to Leeds could offer the platform to revitalise his career, putting his previous goalscoring form back on display under a manager renowned for developing attacking talent.
