Arsenal hero strongly recommends Leeds United should make a move for Super Eagles striker

Arsenal icon Kevin Campbell has strongly recommended that Leeds United should make a move for Emmanuel Dennis in the summer transfer window.

Less that a year after his arrival at Vicarage Road, Watford are aiming to get the Super Eagles striker off their wage bill following their demotion from the Premier League.

Dennis impressed in the first half of the recently concluded season and ended the campaign with sixteen goal involvements, putting himself in the shop window in the process.

West Ham United have been credited with an interest in the former Club Brugge man and he has been offered to a couple of mid-table Premier League teams.

Though Campbell would like Leeds United to join the race for the Nigerian, the stumbling block to a deal could be the striker's valuation, with Watford seeking to offload him for at least £20m.

When asked if Leeds should make a move for Dennis, Campbell said to Football Insider : "Yes, I think he’s a player Leeds should be looking at.

"It all depends how much they have to work with though.

"West Ham have money. They had a big campaign in the Europa League and finished seventh in the Premier League. They are right up there now so they will have money to throw around.

"Do Leeds have the money? I’m not sure.

"It is key that they sign a striker though. They cannot have another season with just Bamford. They really struggled without him."

Dennis missed the last three games of the season due to a knee injury he suffered against Crystal Palace

The 24-year-old was named on Nigeria's expanded roster for their upcoming friendlies with Mexico and Ecuador.
