Why Turkish Club Is Set to Part Ways With Super Eagles Star After 6 Months

• Istanbul Basaksehir set to part ways with Nigeria forward Emmanuel Dennis
• Dennis joined the Turkish club only last summer from Nottingham Forest
• Dennis has been listed in Nigeria’s provisional AFCON squad

Emmanuel Dennis’ dream move to Turkish giants Istanbul Basaksehir has turned out a nightmare for the Super Eagles striker after only six months with the club.

The Super Eagles striker, who joined the Super Lig club on loan from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window, has only made eight appearances for the Turkish club.

According to Soccernet, Basaksehir will not renew or attempt to buy Dennis on a permanent deal as they have been unimpressed with the 26-year-old forward’s time at the club.

The Turkish giants are open to cutting Dennis’ one-year loan deal short to just six months as they are open to the Nigerian returning to parent club Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window.
