Transfer Update: Watford want ₦15 billion for Dennis
The 24-year old enjoyed a stellar season with the Hornets in the Premier League despite the club being immediately relegated back to the Championship.
Nigeria international Emmanuel Dennis has continued to command interest from clubs in the Premier League.
Latest reports indicate Brentford are keen to bring in the Watford striker this summer to partner Ivan Toney.
Dennis, 24, enjoyed a stellar season with the Hornets in the Premier League despite the club being immediately relegated back to the Championship.
The Sun report that Thomas Frank would like to bring the forward on board at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The Super Eagles star, who is currently away on international duty, scored 10 goals and registered six assists for Watford across 33 games in the league last season.
Brentford are thought to view this as an impressive return for a player who was playing amid difficult circumstances at Watford.
The Bees are said to value him at around the £20m mark. Watford paid £3m for the player from Belgian side Club Brugge last summer.
It is reported that the Belgian outfit would be entitled to a small sell-on fee, thought to be around five per cent.
Dennis could have a choice of destination as it is also suggested that Crystal Palace are in for the player.
Manager Patrick Vieira is wanting to build on his impressive first season with the Eagles and new arrivals are expected at Selhurst Park to continue the club's resurgence under the Frenchman.
Dennis is thought represent an option for the forward line, as Vieira looks to bolster an attack that at times looked blunt against certain opposition.
