Sevilla are exploring a move for Göztepe midfielder Anthony Dennis, with the La Liga club monitoring the Nigerian’s rapid rise in the Turkish Süper Lig.
The 21-year-old defensive midfielder, currently valued at €5.00m on Transfermarkt, has been linked with a switch from İzmir to Andalusia, according to rumour data logged on 22 December 2025. The move remains at the speculation stage, with no fee agreed and the probability of a transfer not quantified in the reports.
Dennis is under contract at Göztepe, but with no public information on the length of his deal or an expiry date, observers have raised the possibility that his situation could allow room for negotiation, or even a future free-agent scenario, if talks over an extension do not progress. Sevilla, rebuilding their squad in LaLiga, are understood to be tracking younger, relatively low-cost options to reinforce central midfield.
Born in Kaduna on 21 June 2004, Dennis stands at 1.79m and operates primarily as a defensive midfielder, offering protection in front of the back four. A right-footed player, he moved from HB Academy Abuja to Göztepe’s Under-19 side in January 2023 before being promoted to the senior team that summer, making the jump from Nigerian academy football to Europe’s top level in Turkey.
His market value has risen sharply over the last two years, climbing from €25,000 in late 2023 to its current €5.00m as of October and December 2025, reflecting his emergence as one of Göztepe’s more valuable assets. That upward curve will be factored into any negotiations, with Göztepe likely to seek a sum that recognises both his development and age.
Should Sevilla move from interest to a formal offer, a transfer to LaLiga would represent a significant step in Dennis’s career, potentially accelerating his reputation beyond Turkey and giving the Nigerian a wider European platform on which to develop.
