Last season, Victor Osimhen scored 14 top-flight goals from 27 appearances.

Everton Eye Big Move For Top Super Eagles Striker As Replacement For Richarlison

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Premier League giants Everton are now looking for a good replacement for Brazilian star Richarlison who has joined Tottenham and Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis is one of their targets.

Everton's financial issues have been eased following Richarlison's move to Tottenhan and the club are now looking for a striker they can pay less to have this summer.

Dennis is one of those being considered and the Hornets could be tempted to sell if an offer of around £20m comes in.

The Kwara Football Academy product only moved to Vicarage Road last summer after Watford paid Club Brugge a fee of just £3m.

Emmanuel Dennis impressed last season for Watford netting 10 goals even though the club eventually relegated into the second division of English football.
