DENNIS SNUBBED AS AWONIYI, AINA MAKE NOTTENHAM FOREST’S 25-MAN PL SQUAD
Nottingham Forest have released their final 25-man squad list for the 2023/24 Premier League season with Super Eagles duo of Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina making the confirmed roster. However, there is no room for Nigerian forward Emmanuel Dennis.
Aina, who only joined Forest this summer on a free transfer after leaving Serie A’s Torino, is among the 11 defenders available for Steve Cooper’s side.
Awoniyi will lead the attack for the Tricky Trees, with former Chelsea boy Callum Hudson-Odoi, ex-Liverpool forward Divock Origi, and Englishman Chris Wood providing the support act.
Super Eagles striker Awoniyi was Forest’s top goalscorer last term with ten goals, and the former Union Berlin attacker has already begun this campaign in excellent form.
Awoniyi has three goals and an assist in four games and has been nominated for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for August.
The former Liverpool signing has already claimed both of Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards.
Forest have, however, left Awoniyi’s compatriot Dennis in the cold.
Dennis joined Nottingham Forest last year from Watford but endured a below-par campaign.
The former Club Brugge man has been linked with a move to Turkey’s Adana Demirspor and Istanbul Basaksehir after reportedly rejecting a proposal from Russian outfit CSKA Moscow.
