Alan Myers drops three-word Everton transfer claim that'll delight supporters - opinion

Everton are in desperate need to make some signings this summer, especially with news of Richarlison’s impending move to Tottenham Hotspur, and a new update has now emerged from a reliable source.

It was reported by The Daily Mail this month that Everton are interested in signing the striker if Richarlison did exit the club.

There is no doubt that supporters will be delighted that there is an opportunity for Everton to sign Dennis from Watford this summer, as he could be a worthy replacement in terms of adding goal contributions following Richarlison’s imminent departure.

Despite the Hornets falling back into the Championship at the end of last season, their Nigerian striker has been a consistent and reliable player who could be a great asset if he has an experienced, high-quality forward line around him next season.

Dennis scored 10 goals, delivered six assists and created seven big chances, along with making one key pass and 1.5 tackles and winning 6.2 duels per game over 33 Premier League appearances last term,  with his output very similar to Richarlison’s.

The Brazil international also scored 10 goals and created seven big chances during the campaign, along with making one key pass per game, but he delivered one assist fewer and made fewer tackles than the Watford star last season over 30 league appearances for the Toffees.
