Emmanuel Dennis has visibly excelled in the Championship league this season, making an impressive impact as a versatile forward. Superbly showcasing his worth as a lethal attacker for Watford, he operates as a genuine goal-threat, ranking high in the 89th percentile. His high goal per 90 figure (87.01%) and expected goals per 90 (xG per 90 standing at an imposing 88.31%), aided by his notable goal efficiency (74.02%), highlight his primary strength - scoring.
The Nigerian international's ability to create opportunities is also commendable, landing in the top percentile for chance creation (79.22%). Despite his average progressive carrying skills (ranked 44.15%), his dribbling skills are noteworthy, garnering a 62.34% success rate per 90 minutes.
However, there are several areas for Dennis to improve. His ball recovery and retention skills are need attention, falling in the lower third percentile. His progressive passing ability (28.57%) and pass accuracy per 90 (29.87%) certainly leave room for improvement. Furthermore, his alarming rate of being dispossessed per 90 minutes (96.1%) is a stark area of concern and could disrupt Watford's attacking flow if not addressed. His successful crosses per 90 (18.18%) could certainly use a considerable boost as well, to further refine his role as a winger.
At 26, Dennis is in his prime years and his performances, brimming with promise yet marred by certain weak points, require balanced attention to maintain his upward trajectory.
