Signing Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis make perfect sense West Ham
West Ham have been liked with a move for Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis in the summer transfer window, according to ExWHUemployee via his Patreon account on Friday morning (17 June).
The London-based club are in the market to sign a player to bolster their attacking unit ahead of the next campaign.
On the other hand, Dennis’ future with Watford is uncertain after the club suffered relegation in their first season back in the Premier League.
The Nigeria international joined Watford in the summer of 2021 from Belgian side Club Brugge in a deal worth £3.60 million.
Dennis was one of the few standout players for Watford in the recently concluded season despite them getting relegated.
The 24-year-old scored 10 goals and six assists across 33 appearances in the 2021-22 season. He participated in 47% of the goals for Watford in the Premier League and played 76% of the minutes [Transfermarkt].
In his entire Premier League career, Moyes has always liked versatile strikers. You can only look at the example of Wayne Rooney during his early Everton days.
There is no reason why he cannot integrate Dennis the same way and allow his attackers to keep rotating positions.
Considering the fact that the Hammers are going to be in Europe again next season, the Irons will need more bodies in the attacking front where Antonio struggled with fitness in the last campaign.
Therefore, signing someone like Dennis might prove to be an excellent acquisition for the Irons.
In other West Ham news, the Irons have been offered the chance to sign this £12.8million goal machine after his club was relegated.
