'They won't pass it up' - Pundit convinced Watford will cash in on new talisman Dennis

Published: December 04, 2021

English football pundit Matt Barlow believes Watford will cash in on their new talisman Emmanuel Dennis should he continue with his fine form for the Hornets.

Signed from Belgian champions Club Brugge in the summer for a fee of four million euros, the Nigeria international has adapted to the Premier League like a duck to water, with a goal involvement of eleven (6 goals, 5 assists), a figure that is bettered only by Mohamed Salah (21).

Looking at the business side of things, the Pozzo family could sanction the sale of Dennis if they receive the right fee and the club is relegated from the Premier League.

The Nigerian has certainly put himself in the shop window and it is possible more glamorous Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on him.

"Watford is also not the club that will do everything they can to keep him," Barlow said to Het Nieuwsblad via Voetbal Primeur.

"From the moment they can start a small business by selling him, they will not pass it up."

Dennis has been playing in a hybrid role of half striker and half winger since Claudio Ranieri took over the managerial reins at Watford.
