Report from England suggests London club, West Ham United are trying to secure the services of Nigerian International, Emmanuel Dennis this summer.
The Watford striker has emerged as a top target for the Hammers, as David Moyes looks to add his attacking options for next season.
Michail Antonio is West Ham’s only known out and out senior striker but he has struggled for goals in the latter part of the 2021-22 season.
Jarrod Bowen has helped him to carry the load, but signing a new goal scorer will be one of The Hammers’ priorities this summer.

According to Football Insider, fellow London club, Watford are ready to cash in on Dennis this summer following their relegation into the second tier of English football.
His representatives were in London earlier this week to hold talks with interested clubs, including West Ham.
The Nigeria international Dennis has been one of Watford’s shining lights this term after joining from Belgian outfit, Club Brugge last summer.
He has scored 10 goals this season as well picking up six assists despite the Hornets’ poor campaign and position on the league table.
Dennis also thrived against tougher opposition this season, he is versatile, playing mainly on the left wing and as an out and out striker but he can also switch to the right wing.
