Everton are interested in signing Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis this summer, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs when speaking to GiveMeSport earlier this week. Frank Lampard has seen Richarlison, his top scorer from last season, leave for Tottenham and is therefore in the market for a replacement.
According to The Athletic, Everton are interested in signing Dennis, with the report stating that the Nigerian striker and Armando Broja are two of the likeliest candidates to replace Richarlison.
Despite avoiding relegation, the Brazilian opted to take his career to the next level and join Spurs last month, with the move giving him the opportunity to play in the Champions League.
But Watford weren’t unable to beat the drop, meaning Dennis, along with Ismaila Sarr, want to leave Vicarage Road. The club’s sporting director Cristiano Giaretta said: “They would like to leave and have been looking at potential moves, but they are not causing us any problems.
