Villareal has expressed interest in the Nigerian striker and is expected to make a move for him when the summer transfer window opens.
The Europa League champions are set to compete for the Super Eagles striker alongside Premier League clubs such as West Ham United and Newcastle United. Watford may be obliged to sell Emmanuel Dennis if they get relegated from the Premier League and want to make a profit on the forward they bought for €4 million from Club Brugge just over a year ago.
