Super Eagles forward, Emmanuel Dennis has completed his loan move from Belgian champions Club Brugge to German Club FC Cologne a statement from the club's website revealed.

This move means Dennis will spend the remainder of the 2020-2021 season with the Billy Goats. He will wear the 43 jersey.

Dennis broke into the spotlight after netting a brace for Brugge at the Santiago Bernabeu in a Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

But this season has brought more troubles than good for the 23-year-old, with the young attacker missing several games for Brugge after losing a family member and flirting with disciplinary issues, according to Soccernet.ng.

“The last six months were not easy for me. I want to play and score goals, and therefore I wanted to make a move in the current transfer window,” said Dennis.

“I am pleased that I’m now at FC. I know what the sporting situation at FC is – therefore, I want to play my part in keeping us in the league by playing and scoring in a top league.”



Dennis will be teaming up with compatriots Tolu Arokodare and Kingsley Ehizibue when he resumes training with his new teammates at Cologne on Wednesday, January 27.

Cologne are battling to avoid the drop following a terrible start to the campaign, with Markus Gisdol’s men occupying one of the bottom three spots on the league table.

The Billy Goats are one of the lowest-scoring sides in the Bundesliga, managing a meagre 15 goals after 18 rounds of matches.
