Buoyed by the striker’s impact against the Lions, the Nigerian football administrator is upbeat he will become a crucial member of the Hornets

Emmanuel Dennis can become decisive for Watford after an awe-inspiring start to his career at Vicarage Road, according to respected Nigerian football administrator Samuel Olatunji-Okuku.

The Super Eagle scored on his Premier League debut as well as provided an assist as the Hornets secured a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

After putting his team ahead after ten minutes, the 23-year-old teed up Ismaila Sarr for the second goal as Dean Smith’s men went 2-0 down at half-time.
