Nigeria midfielder Anthony Dennis has emerged as a transfer target for Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, with the Göztepe youngster reportedly being monitored after a sharp rise in his value.
The 21-year-old defensive midfielder, who plays in the Turkish Süper Lig for Göztepe, is being linked with a move to Bremen according to data from Transfermarkt, though the probability of any deal is currently listed as unclear (“?”). Dennis, valued at €5.00m, does not have publicly available contract expiry details, raising the theoretical possibility he could become a free agent in the future, which would further fuel transfer speculation.
Dennis has been on a steep upward trajectory in Türkiye. Since joining Göztepe’s senior side from their U19s in 2023, his market value has risen from €25,000 in late 2023 to its current €5.00m as of October and December 2025, reflecting his growing importance in defensive midfield. Any potential approach from Werder Bremen would likely have to take that rapid appreciation into account.
Born in Kaduna on 21 June 2004, Dennis came through HB Academy Abuja in Nigeria before moving to Göztepe’s youth set-up in January 2023. Standing at 1.79m and preferring his right foot, he is listed primarily as a defensive midfielder but operates within the broader midfield zone, offering screening in front of the back line and simple distribution.
Dennis has so far only played club football in Türkiye, but a move to the Bundesliga would represent a significant step up in profile and competition level. With his stock already rising at Göztepe and interest from Germany now recorded, the next phase of his career could hinge on whether Bremen choose to turn tentative admiration into a concrete offer.
