La Liga strugglers eye Nigerian striker as low-risk option to boost survival fight.

Valencia Linked with Free Agent Dennis

Valencia have emerged as a potential destination for Emmanuel Dennis, the Nigerian striker currently a free agent after his contract with Nottingham Forest expired in the summer of 2025.

The 27-year-old Super Eagles forward has been without a club for several months, despite previous links to teams in Europe and Asia.

Valencia, sitting 17th in La Liga and battling relegation, see Dennis as a versatile attacking option with minimal financial risk, available on a free transfer.

The club needs goals, pace, and depth upfront, areas where Dennis, with proven Premier League and Ligue 1 experience, could contribute.

However, concerns over his match fitness after an extended period inactive may temper enthusiasm.

Dennis previously impressed at Club Brugge, Watford, and in spells on loan, but struggled for consistency at Forest.

A move to Mestalla could offer a fresh start in a competitive league, with discussions reportedly in early stages.
