Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis is reportedly set for a report to Watford.
In what can be termed a dramatic twist of fate, Nigerian forward Emmanuel Dennis is on the brink of a sensational return to Watford.
The Hornets, currently striving to claw their way back to the top tier of English football, have reportedly struck a deal with Istanbul Basaksehir. This move would see Dennis donning the Watford jersey once again, albeit on a six-month loan spell.

Dennis Takes Pay Cut for Championship Challenge
In an astonishing commitment to the cause, Dennis has consented to a substantial 70 per cent reduction in his wages.
According to renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the 26-year-old Nigerian international is ready to make significant financial sacrifices to rejoin the English side.
His eagerness to aid Watford in their quest to return to the Premier League is evident and highly commendable.
Medical Pending as Hornets Eye Promotion
Dennis, who had previously been a pivotal figure at Vicarage Road, is poised to undergo a medical on Tuesday, clearing the final hurdle before his comeback is officially confirmed.
During his initial stint with Watford, he made a lasting impact, netting 10 league goals and providing six assists in 35 appearances. His transfer to Nottingham Forest in 2022 for around £20m marked the end of his first chapter at Watford.
However, with the Hornets currently sitting ninth in the Championship standings, amassing 38 points from 28 matches, Dennis's return could provide the much-needed boost to propel them into the promotion conversation.
