Everton plot Emmanuel Dennis swoop as Watford striker emerges as potential Richarlison replacement

Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis is among Everton’s list of targets as they look to replace Richarlison.

The Toffees reluctantly agreed to cash in on Richarlison after Tottenham made an offer of £60million, which eases Everton’s financial issues.

The club, however, are aware they need to replace the Brazilian forward and they are currently drawing up a list of targets.

Watford striker Dennis is one of those being considered and the Hornets could be tempted to sell if an offer of around £20m comes in.

Dennis only moved to Vicarage Road last summer after Watford paid Club Brugge a fee of just £3m.

Despite Watford being relegated from the Premier League last season, the 24-year-old impressed and he scored 10 goals during his first year in England.

That has caught the eye of Villarreal, who have scouted him, but now Everton are also in the running for the Nigerian.
