Watford player Emmanuel Dennis moved to England from Germany’s Cologne last season, reports site Beton.ng. The Nigerian has shown a high level of play and is his team’s top scorer. True, Watford are not very confident in the English league. In a recent match this team lost to Man City with a score of 1:5. The experts of bookmaker Melbet NG gave a low odds of 1.25 to win Man City. It is clear that Man City was considered the favorite, but Melbet bookmaker didn’t believe that Dennis’ team would be able to compete and fight for at least a draw.

As for Emmanuel Dennis himself, he has 10 goals and 6 assists in thirty-one matches in the English championship. His partner is Moussa Sissoko. Previously he was a midfielder for Tottenham, but in the summer he became a player for Watford. The 31-year-old Frenchman signed a two-year contract with Watford. At this team, Sissoko performs under number 19 on the back.

Watford is fighting for survival in the English championship and planned to strengthen the team’s defense this winter. Watford made an attempt during the winter transfer window to acquire Manchester United defender Phil Jones. The team’s head coach Roy Hodgson is a big fan of the English footballer’s game, but the club failed to make a deal, Football Insider reports.

In early January, Jones took part in the English Premier League’s 21st round match against Wolverhampton. Before that, his last game for the club was the 1/16 final match of the FA Cup with Tranmere Rovers (6-0), which took place in September 2020. The reason for the long absence of the defender was a severe knee injury. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the cost of the defender is € 4 million. Phil Jones’ contract with MJ expires in 2023.

Watford have instead signed defender Hassan Kamara from club Nice. The 27-year-old has signed a contract with the APL club until June 2025. Kamara has experience of playing for the national team of Cote d’Ivoire. He has played more than 50 matches for Nice in all competitions.

Also Watford tried to buy another Manchester United player. It is about goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Hodgson’s club wanted to sign the player before the transfer window closed, but the Mancunians blocked the transfer. Henderson has played only 2 matches for United in all competitions this season.

Watford also had attempts to buy the Liverpool player. Perhaps the club will try to make this transfer in the summer. We are talking about Liverpool defender Nathaniel Phillips, who is in the sphere of interest of Watford. The English player is expected to leave Anfield in the winter transfer window, with Liverpool asking €14 million for Phillips, Football Insider reports.

Phillips, 24, has been in the English club’s structure since 2016, transferring from Bolton. This season, the English defender has spent 224 minutes on the field in four games in all tournaments. Phillips’ contract expires in 2025, Transfermarkt values the player at €8 million.
