Watford are set for a very busy summer as they prepare for life back in the Championship, with Emmanuel Dennis one player expected to move on.
The 24-year-old was one of few positives for the Hornets as they were relegated from the Premier League, scoring ten goals and registering six assists in what was a miserable campaign.

Viktor Gyokeres
The Coventry striker has enjoyed a real breakthrough year with the Sky Blues,
