Report confirms ANS exclusive Crystal Palace want Super Eagles striker

Crystal Palace have identified Watford's Nigeria international Emmanuel Dennis as a summer transfer target.

London World reported on Tuesday that Crystal Palace will turn their attention to Dennis if Patrick Vieira fails to convince Eddie Nketiah to join the club.

Allnigeriasoccer.com broke the news twelve days ago that Crystal Palace were mulling over a move for the former Club Brugge man and were expected to make a transfer decision in the coming weeks.

Previously, Nketiah, who is represented by Nigerian agent Emeka Obasi, looked like he was going to leave Arsenal but he's now closing in on a new deal that will see him extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium beyond June 30, 2022.

Watford are aiming to trim their wage bill following their demotion to the Championship and have put the Nigeria international up for sale.

Dennis made thirty three Premier League appearances over the course of the 2021-2022 season and directly participated in sixteen goals (10 goals, 6 assists).

The 24-year-old landed in the United States on Tuesday to link up with his international teammates before their friendly against Ecuador.
