Anthony Dennis’s standout performances in the Turkish Super Lig have sparked strong interest from several top European clubs, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Göztepe midfielder, who signed a contract extension last year that keeps him at the club until at least the summer of 2027, has drawn attention from scouts across Germany, England, and France.

Clubs such as St. Pauli (Bundesliga), Brighton & Hove Albion (Premier League), and Stade Rennais (Ligue 1) are reportedly monitoring his progress closely.

Dennis, who joined Göztepe in 2023 from Nigerian club HB Abuja, has become a pivotal figure in the team's midfield.

Known for his consistency and versatility, the 20-year-old has played 31 matches this season, helping Göztepe reach the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup.

Since arriving at the club, he has featured in 46 games and continues to enhance his reputation.

According to Transfermarkt, his current market value stands at €2 million.

Despite being called up in the past, Dennis is yet to make his senior debut for the Nigerian national team.
