Emmanuel Dennis has said he is hungry to play football again after he was cut off the 25-man Premier League squad by Nottingham Forest at the start of this season.
The 27-year-old Super Eagles winger has now joined Blackburn Rovers on loan from Forest.
“I am very hungry, I really want to play football and I hope that we are going to have great moments together,” he told Rovers TV
“I am really excited to be back (playing), I will give my all to the club and I really appreciate them bringing me here.
“I am going to give them everything.”
Dennis said he was inspired while growing up by the exploits of former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyebeni at Blackburn Rovers.
“Yakubu played here and growing up, I watched him play,” he recalled.
“He scored a lot of goals, so many!
“He inspired me in some ways because I watched games and he was really a good player.”
