Frank Lampard’s Everton have joined David Moyes’s West Ham United and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United in the race for Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis, according to The Daily Mail.
Everton join West Ham and Newcastle in race for Emmanuel Dennis
The Mirror reported on May 17 that West Ham were planning to make a £20 million bid for Dennis.
The report claimed interest from Newcastle in the 24-year-old Nigeria international striker as well.
And now The Daily Mail are reporting that Everton are eyeing a move for Dennis, who is valued at £20 million by his club Watford.
Watford will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League.
The Toffees are reportedly looking at Dennis as a potential replacement for Brazilian forward Richarlison, who is a prominent transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.
Watford exit likely
In our view, it is likely that Emmanuel Dennis will leave Watford in the summer transfer window amid interest from Everton, Newcastle and West Ham United.
The 24-year-old scored 10 goals and gave six assists in 30 Premier League starts for Watford last season.
The striker has shown that he is good enough to play in the Premier League, and with Watford in the Championship next season, the Hornets will have to sell him if a good offer comes in.
