Udinese have identified Nottingham Forest’s Emmanuel Dennis and Aston Villa’s Keinan Davis as targets to replace Beto who was sold to Everton.

The Pozzo family knows the 25-year-old Nigerian well as they signed him for Watford in 2021, before cashing in from his sale to Nottingham Forest a year later.

According to Messaggero Veneto, the Serie A side must ‘choose between’ Dennis and the Aston Villa player.

It’s said the Tricky Trees ‘want to sell’ the forward after he struggled to impress last season.

He’s been left out of Steve Cooper’s plans this season and was not included in the squad to face Burnley in the EFL Cup, which the report says is a sign of an ‘imminent sale’.

The report states Udinese are willing to offer €8m to sign the Nigerian, who it’s stated earns €2.4m at Nottingham Forest.

Davies, who returned from a loan spell at Watford, is not included in Unai Emery’s plans at Aston Villa. His contract expires in 2024 and the website states it would cost Udinese around €2.3m to buy him.

Messaggero Veneto made no mention of Udinese’s final preference to replace Beto.
