Super Eagles Striker To Earn £20,000 Weekly At Blackburn Rovers

English Championship Blackburn Rovers will pay Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis a weekly salary of £20,000 after finalizing a late deal with Nottingham Forest for his transfer, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced.

The recent transfer window was busy for Blackburn, as manager John Eustace aimed to strengthen his squad for the remainder of the season in pursuit of a playoff spot.

In the final days of the window, it became clear that adding attacking players was a top priority.

Blackburn successfully secured late signings, including Luton Town’s Cauley Woodrow and Dennis. Further details regarding Dennis's contract have emerged, indicating that Blackburn has negotiated a favourable deal.

Journalist Alan Nixon reported that the Rovers will pay only £20,000 per week, along with bonuses, which is a small portion of Dennis's overall wages. His annual salary is estimated to be around £4 million, translating to over £75,000 per week.

This lower wage commitment aligns well with Blackburn's wage structure, ensuring that it won’t disrupt the team dynamics in the dressing room.

From Nottingham Forest's perspective, offloading some of Dennis's wages will be a relief, as he had not been part of the first team and was unlikely to play for the club.
