The club and Thomas Frank are confident talisman Toney will stay put this summer despite turning heads at a number of other sides after scoring 12 Premier League goals last season.
Brentford will have to tussle with Crystal Palace for Dennis, who bagged ten top-flight goals in the last campaign for Watford.
The Hornets value the Nigerian 24-year-old, who is currently away on international duty with the Super Eagles, around the £20million mark.
He arrived at Vicarage Road from Club Brugge in July last year and the Belgian side would be entitled to a small sell-on fee of around five per cent.
But with his price tag likely to be in the region of £20m, it would still mean a significant profit for Watford on the £3m they paid for him.
Dennis also provided six assists in 33 Premier League games for the Hornets in their ultimately doomed campaign.
Elsewhere the Bees are looking to add wing-backs on both sides of the park this window.
Bologna’s Aaron Hickey and Norwich’s Max Aarons are two of the names on their shortlist.
