Udeze names 2 Super Eagles stars who should question themselves for move to EPL

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis have both been told by Ifeanyi Udeze that they should by now be questioning themselves for their decisions to join Nottingham Forest in the EPL.

Before the start of the ongoing Premier League season, these two Nigerian players made the move to Nottingham Forest with the hope of them helping the side.

Awoniyi's dream to play in the Premier League eventually came true after joining Nottingham Forest, but the former Liverpool player has been struggling to get goals for the side.

The Kwara born player has scored two goals after 8 games played, while Dennis has not been able to get any goal so far after five games.

To make things bad for Nottingham Forest, Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis were both in action on Monday night as they were hammered by Leicester City.
