Nigerian forward, Emmanuel Dennis has completed a move to newly-promoted English Premier League club, Watford.

Dennis, who made the switch from Belgium, will now become teammates with Super Eagles duo of William Troost-Ekong and Isaac Success.

In what has since been expected, Watford finally reached an agreement with Belgian champions Club Brugge over the transfer of the forward.

Dennis joined Club Brugge in 2017 and spent the latter part of the 2020-21 season on loan at German side, Cologne. He now makes a switch to England.
