Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Emmanuel Dennis is pictured alongside Brazil football icon Ronaldinho
Nottingham Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis was left “speechless” after meeting his footballing hero Ronaldinho while on holiday.
The 25-year-old is currently earning some down time on holiday with Brazilian teammate Gustavo Scarpa. The pair were pictured together on social media with the caption: “Enjoy the holidays with my big bro Scarpa.”
Dennis arrived at the City Ground in a £14million deal last summer from Watford. He scored two Premier League goals in 19 appearances during his debut season at the Reds.
And on Saturday, he posted a picture on social media of him alongside 2002 World Cup winner Ronaldinho and the Nigerian appeared to be left starstruck at meeting a player who clearly had a huge influence on his footballing career growing up.
He wrote: “Meet the reason why I’m a football player today, the real GOAT. I’m speechless,” alongside a GOAT (greatest of all time) emoji and a love heart followed by a blushing face emoji.
He is not the first Forest player to be spotted with the Brazil legend recently. Nico Williams was pictured alongside him just over a week ago with the club sharing his holiday snap alongside the cheeky message, “Neco with a friend.”
