Everton have reportedly now plotting a move to sign Emmanuel Dennis in the summer transfer window. Despite his best efforts, the 24-year-old found himself relegated from the Premier League with Watford last season, and he seems too good of a striker to be playing in the Championship, so a move back to the top flight appears likely.
Dubbed a ‘beast‘ by journalist Declan Carr midway through the 2021/22 campaign, the Nigeria international managed to score 10 goals and supply a further six assists in the top flight (Transfermarkt), a very impressive return in a relegated team.
Taking to Twitter in sharing a corresponding article for the Evening Standard, Simon Collings has revealed that Everton will now ‘plot’ a move for Dennis as a potential replacement for Richarlison, who has signed for Tottenham Hotspur in recent days.
The journalist tweeted: “Watford forward Emmanuel Dennis among targets as Everton plot how to replace Richarlison.” Given the Hornets’ relegation, Dennis is likely to be available at a discounted price, so interest in him should increase as the transfer window progresses.
