After completing a trade to Nottingham Forest, Nigerian international Emmanuel Dennis wished Watford the best of luck for the next campaign.
The 24-year-old finally put a stop to the summer transfer rumours by moving to Trentside, however the promoted team was unable to disclose the specifics of the inked contract.
The Super Eagle expressed his gratitude to the Hornets on his social media platforms for their time and attention.
“Thank you Watford for everything, I want to wish the club all the best for this season and the future,” Dennis wrote, adding: “Forever in my heart.”
On unveiling the player, Nottingham said: “Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the signing of striker Emmanuel Dennis from Watford.
“The 24-year-old forward arrives on Trentside having hit double figures for The Hornets last season, returning 10 goals from 33 Premier League starts.
“Prior to arriving in England, Dennis’ first professional venture was in Ukraine’s top-flight with Zorya Luhansk before enjoying a productive four-year spell in Belgium with Club Brugge, notably scoring twice in a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid in the group stages of the 2019-20 Uefa Champions League.
“With seven international caps to date for Nigeria, the pacey forward links up with fellow countryman Taiwo Awoniyi to bolster The Reds’ attacking options.”
Dennis made 22 appearances for Watford last year, contributing six assists along with 10 goals.
Dennis connected with another Nigerian, forward Taiwo Awoniyi, who recently joined Nottingham from Bundesliga club Union Berlin.
Dennis might get the chance to make his Reds debut on Saturday when they go to Goodison Park to take on Everton.
