For Watford’s six-day preseason training camp, which finishes on Sunday with the club’s second preseason friendly against Greek team Panathinaikos, Nigerians Emmanuel Dennis, Ismaila Sarr, Adam Masina, and Danny Rose did not board the plane for Austria.
The four players’ exclusion from the team is the loudest indication yet that they are planning to leave.
Watford is in talks with the representatives of Dennis and Sarr, and it is also known that Mogi Bayat, who handles a lot of the club’s transactions, is taking part.
Everton, West Ham United, Southampton, and Fulham are all interested in signing Dennis, who wants to stay in the Premier League. However, none of the teams have made any proposals.
He was associated with the teams after the Hornets were demoted to the Championship last season despite his 10 goals and six assists throughout the season.
The former Club Brugge player is Watford’s most prized asset, and even while it’s anticipated that a deal can finally be reached for somewhere around £20 million, Watford owner Gino Pozzo, a seasoned negotiator, will want to drive a hard bargain.
