Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis has sent a good luck message to the Super Eagles, as they get set to feature at this year’s AFCON.

The Eagles will begin proceedings at this year’s edition when they take on Pharoahs of Egypt on Tuesday.

Dennis will not be part of the squad after Watford claimed his invitation for the competition came late.

The former Club Brugge striker was later replaced by Peter Olayinka.

And ahead of the commencement of the tournament, Dennis wished the team success.

“Wishing the Super Eagles of Nigeria success in the upcoming competition – The African Cup Of Nations (AFCON).  #SoarSuperEagles #LetsGoNigeria,” he wrote on Twitter.

On Friday, Dennis won both Watford December Player and Goal of the Month awards.
