With relegation hanging around the neck of the English Premier League side Watford FC, Nigeria's Super Eagles winger Emmanuel Dennis is among the club's big stars that have been listed for departure BSNsports.com.ng can report.

The Nigerian forward got his big break when Watford signed him from Club Brugge in July 2021. He is enjoying an impressive debut season at Vicarage Road, having notched 10 goals and six assists in 31 Premier League games.

With the situation of the Hornets, a £20 million price tag has been slapped on him and Spanish La Liga side Villareal is ready to cough out the amount for Nigeria International.

They have sent scouts to watch him on numerous occasions during 2021-22. Interest also comes from several other European teams, but it is Villarreal who are most likely to come in with a bid.

Emery likes the fact Dennis can operate as a centre-forward or on either flank. The player could work well with Arnaut Danjuma and Gerard Moreno at El Madrigal.
