Nottingham Forest star makes 'boring' admission after completing £20m transfer

Emmanuel Dennis is a self-confessed rogue in the dressing room, but the striker has admitted that the first month of his time at Nottingham Forest left him bored.

The Nigerian international joined the Reds from Watford in the summer for an undisclosed transfer fee, believed to around £20m, as part of the club's massive spending spree. He has scored one goal so far this season.

Dennis has revealed that he loves to "have fun" by teasing his teammates in the dressing room and on the training ground. But he was too shy to do so when he first joined as there were too many new faces.

The 24-year-old says he is happy with life in Nottingham and has become good friends with the other players in the squad, meaning he is no doubt making fun of them on a daily basis.

"When I arrived there was a lot of new players. I was just quiet," he told Premier Sports.

"I like to tease people, but in a room with a lot of random people you don't know, I'm not going to tease someone I just met on the first day. You have to get to know them and see what they do and don't like.

"So it was boring for me for the first month, because I'm loud. I like to play and have fun.

"I couldn't do that, so training was boring. But now it's going good because we are all friends and I can tease them, now I'm happy."

Regarding Nottingham Forest's poor form since coming up to the Premier League, Dennis said: "We have good players. We just have to get together and understand ourselves and it's going to be good."
