West Ham United drive forward with move to sign Emmanuel Dennis
West Ham United have driven forward with their bid to sign Watford attacker Emmanuel Dennis this week, according to The Mirror.
The newspaper has reported in their print edition [18 June, pg. 66] that the Irons have made their move to strengthen the final third options in their squad.
It has been heavily reported that the Nigerian international is rated at £20million, with West Ham now pushing ahead to make sure they win the race.
Moyes is finally getting the money he deserves this summer, with numerous signings now on the cards.
The Hammers have gone through too many windows only bringing in the odd player here and there, but the time has come to really throw down the gauntlet and make numerous additions.
Permanent deals for Nayef Aguerd and Alphonse Areola appear to be now very close, if not already done, so midfield and the final third are the areas that are surely now in the pipeline.
Smart.
This would be brilliant business from the Hammers.
Dennis could even move for less than £20million, given that Watford crashed back into the Championship and will need to move players on over the summer.
The Nigerian will likely force his exit, too, and given his 10-goals season for the Hornets last time out, he is in high demand with other Premier League clubs sniffing around.
It could start to get interesting though, with Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri also being offered to the club for a major move after a bid was rejected back in January.
There is likely only room for one of these two options to arrive to strengthen the final third, and given the Irons are now driving forward with a move for Dennis, it appears as though the Premier League experience has won.
There is no messing around at the London Stadium, and we can start to expect even more movement soon.
In other West Ham United news, the Irons have been offered the chance to sign this £12.8million goal machine after his club was relegated.
