‘They want to sell’ - England legend tells Rangers to sign Super Eagles star Emmanuel Dennis

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has urged Rangers to sign Nottingham Forest forward Emmanuel Dennis.

Dennis has had a poor season, making 25 appearances in all competitions with just two goals and three assists.

He has been sent out on loan several times due to his difficulties, including times at Watford and Istanbul Başakşehir.

Following his disappointing spell, Forest are looking to offload the forward, with clubs monitoring his situation.

Robinson advises Rangers

Robinson clarified on Football Insider's Inside Track podcast that Rangers could sign the Nigerian forward on loan this January.

He said, “The stumbling block is going to be his wages. He’s reportedly earning around £ 4 million per year at Nottingham Forest, which is going to be a huge problem for Rangers."

"Rangers would only pay a percentage of that, but Forest seemingly are desperate to get rid of him. His wages are going to take a big chunk out of anyone’s budget. Wherever he goes, he’s going to have to take a cut going forward.

"I think while he’s still getting the same salary, Rangers are out of the game unless Forest are going to pay 70% or 80% of his wages and Rangers cover a smaller chunk.

"He’s not been in favour since arriving at the City Ground and he’s clearly not in the manager’s plans.

"Ideally, they want to sell, so any loan would have to be an obligation to buy and I don’t think Rangers can afford that at the moment.

"But the other stumbling block is the obligation to buy. We know Sheffield Wednesday are looking at him, but they enquired, looked at the deal, and gone.

"I think he’d be a good fit for Rangers, and he does need to move on and rejuvenate his career, but there will be a lot of sides who baulk at his price tag.”

Dennis hopes to find a move away to revitalise his career in the last days of the winter window.
