Nigeria’s Emmanuel Dennis Is Only 2nd To Mo Salah In EPL Goals Involvement

Emmanuel Dennis struck again for Watford against West Ham on Tuesday evening with the Nigerian now only trailing Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah for Premier League goal involvements this season.

e360huba.com reports that the Nigerian sensation continues to prove why he was the bargain of the summer.

The Hornets paid Belgian club Club Brugge just £4million for the striker in the summer, and he’s been integral ever since.

Emmanuel netted his eighth goal of the season as he put Watford ahead against West Ham at Vicarage Road, before the Hammers hit back with a quick double.

That added to his five assists to make it 13 goal involvements in the English Premier League so far this season.

Only one player has more than the Nigerian, Mohammed Salah.

The Egyptian has an unrivalled 24 to his name already this campaign.

Dennis has either scored or assisted 59 per cent of Watford’s 22 goals in the top flight this season.

He has also had a direct hand in 10 of the Hornets’ last 13 goals in the Premier League.

Manager Claudio Ranieri may be a little concerned about where goals are going to come from when Dennis leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The striker was called up by Nigeria for the competition and will leave next week.

He will be available to face Tottenham on Saturday, before travelling for the competition alongside a host of top Premier League players.
