Emmanuel Dennis is at the moment wanted by no less than five Premier League clubs following Brentford and Crystal Palace decision to join the race for the forward’s signature.
Earlier reports had indicated that the trio of West Ham United, Leeds United and Aston Villa were keen on signing Dennis but Brentford and Palace have entered the race to land him.
According to Watford Observer, “Emmanuel Dennis continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs as his future seems increasingly likely to be away from Vicarage Road.
“Crystal Palace and Brentford are the latest two sides to be credited with an interest as preparation begins for the 2022/23 season. Reports in Nigeria in recent weeks have linked the striker to the two clubs and sources have since supported them.

“Palace are looking to add extra firepower to their team, with only Wilfried Zaha reaching a goals tally in double figures in the recently-finished campaign.
“Dennis’ representatives have touched base with a number of sides already including West Ham United and Villarreal but his options are only increasing for the time being, with Palace and the Bees throwing their hats into the ring.
“With Brentford, the situation appears a little more complicated. Top scorer and talisman Ivan Toney has attracted interest from other teams, after a successful return to the Premier League, in which he scored 12 goals.
“Whether or not Dennis would be seen as a replacement for Toney should he depart, or an attacking partner, is not yet clear.” Watford value Dennis around the £20million mark.
