# Everton: Toffees in Emmanuel Dennis ‘talks’

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are reportedly one of a number of teams in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) now in ‘talks’ to sign Emmanuel Dennis.**

### The Lowdown: Great season

Despite being relegated to the Championship with Watford, Dennis had a great individual season, scoring ten goals and making a further six assists in the Premier League ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-dennis/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/448854/plus/0?saison=&verein=1010&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=)).

This included a major cameo at Goodison Park, where he came off the bench in the second half to terrify the Merseyside club, scoring one and assisting two to secure a thumping 5-2 away win for the Hornets ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58936301)).

### The Latest: Everton ‘talks’

Taking to Twitter, The Athletic journalist [Adam Leventhal](https://twitter.com/AdamLeventhal/status/1552189358899331073) shared an update and revealed that the Toffees are one of a number of top-flight sides who are now in ‘talks’ to sign Dennis, and there is a feeling that a deal can be struck by the end of the window:

*“New: Emmanuel Dennis latest. Background on #NFFC #WHUFC #FFC #EFC interest/talks.*

*“Watford/player optimistic deal will still be struck before end of window. Patience needed though.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

After losing Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur, Frank Lampard’s team are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, and signing Dennis would certainly be a smart move.

The striker could be available at a cheaper price having been relegated to the Championship, and he already has the experience of playing in the Premier League.

Hailed as a ‘[beast](https://twitter.com/Declancarr96/status/1469403428912775181)‘ by journalist Declan Carr midway through last season, Dennis has shown that he can perform at a high level, having scored 46 goals in total at club level and one for his country Nigeria by the age of 24 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-dennis/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/448854/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

Nonetheless, this is a deal that should get the Blues supporters feeling more optimistic about the upcoming campaign.
