Arsenal and Leicester City have discovered they would have to fork out €30 million/£25 million to sign Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis.

According to a report from Foot Mercato, that figure is the very least the Belgian side would accept for their Nigeria international.

Dennis, 22, has seen his stock rise this season having scored seven goals, with two of those coming against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the Champions League.

Voetbal Belgie reported last month that the Gunners and the Foxes were both keeping tabs on the forward, and it was claimed Brendan Rodgers’ side were ready to put £20 million on the table.

Dennis – twice-capped by his country after making his debut in September – has three years remaining on his current deal at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

TBR’s view – Leicester’s man to lose

Surely Leicester are the more likely side, if any, to sign Dennis next month.

The Foxes arguably still have cash to burn from the Harry Maguire sale, and they also have a potential lure in Dennis’ international teammate Kelechi Iheanacho already being at the club.

Arsenal, realistically, need to be focusing their attentions on beefing up their defence after a very concerning start to the season at the back.
