West Ham United have allegedly just held talks with the agent of talented Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis.
That’s according to a report from The Express who claim that the Hammers have been holding talks with the 24-year-old’s agent Drew Uyi about a potential move to the London Stadium for his client.
READ…Report: West Ham make £17m offer for world-class midfielder but there’s a big problem
West Ham are believed to be the front-runners in the race to sign Dennis from Watford this summer.
West Ham have already signed Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo for around £35 million according to Sky Sports.
However, it seems as though David Moyes is far from done with regards to recruiting players to bolster his attacking department…
West Ham hold talks with Emmanuel Dennis agent
According to a report from The Express, the Hammers have discussed a move to sign the 24-year-old Watford striker with his representative Drew Uyi.
It is alleged that West Ham will have to pay around £20 million to sign Dennis this summer (The Mirror).
That’s very good value in our book and we’d love to see the Nigeria international rock up at the London Stadium this summer.
He would provide very solid competition and cover for Michail Antonio and Scamacca.
Dennis is exactly the kind of striker David Moyes usually likes.
The Nigerian bagged 10 goals and six assists in 33 Premier League games for Watford last season (Transfermarkt).
He is a constant menace for opposing defenders and possesses a fantastic work-rate.
West Ham fans will know all about Dennis. He scored against us with a brilliant strike at Vicarage Road earlier this season.
£20 million seems like a reasonable fee for West Ham to pay for the Nigerian. It is worth noting that he can play on either wing as well as through the middle.
So what are the Hammers waiting for?
With the report claiming that West Ham are front-runners to sign the Watford striker, hopefully Moyes can wrap this one up immediately.
And with the agent of Emmanuel Dennis allegedly in talks with West Ham United, its might not be too long before, whisper it, Moyes has three strikers at his disposal!
