What is the latest news involving Dennis?

As per The Sun, both Palace and Brentford are interested in signing Dennis following his impressive season at Vicarage Road.

While the Hornets went on to get relegated, individually, the 2021/22 campaign is one the Nigerian can be pleased with.

In 35 appearances, he scored 10 goals to finish the season as the club's top scorer, making him a successful bit of business following his move from Club Brugge last year. It took his career total to 46.

Speaking about Dennis, former Watford manager Claudio Ranieri said: "A very talented player. He’s fast, has good skill, always runs straight to the goal - I love these kinds of players."

What has Bridge said about Dennis?

Bridge has told GIVEMESPORT that Dennis' people informed clubs at the end of last season that the 24-year-old would cost £20m this summer.

Speaking to GMS, the Sky Sports reporter said: "His representatives were talking to clubs at the end of last season and saying he'll be worth 20 million in the summer, and not one club wanted to pay 20 million for Emmanuel Dennis, so it'll be interesting to see what he does go for."

Is £20m a fair price for Dennis?

In this day and age, it does not sound too far-fetched. After all, last term, he proved that he can score goals after reaching double figures in a poor Watford side.

Dennis is also a very good dribbler. Over the last year, the Nigeria international has ranked in the 89th percentile for dribbles completed among attacking midfielders and wingers (via FBref).

With Patrick Vieira yet to properly settle on one striker at Palace, though, Dennis could play up front if he does arrive at Selhurst Park, and some of his stats as a No.9 are also impressive.

When compared to other strikers, he has ranked in the 89th percentile for pressures, the 99th for tackles and the 97th for blocks, showing his desire to try and win the ball back when out of possession.

All in all, it is probably fair to say that Dennis had a pretty good debut season in England, but it does not look like he has done enough to attract £20m bids this summer.
