Four Clubs Register Interest In Nigerian Striker Emmanuel Deniss

Club Brugge attacker Emmanuel Deniss has emerged on the radar of Sheffield United, Atalanta, and Leeds United according to several reports.

Deniss, who made a name for himself across Europe last season when he hit a brace at the Santiago Bernabeu for Brugge against Real Madrid in the Europa League, finds himself in the battle between the English and Spanish clubs respectively.

Italian giants Inter Milan have also been credited with an interest in the Nigeria international, who scored 6 goals in 23 appearances in 2019/20 for his Belgian side.

Club Brugge have reportedly set a €30 million price-tag on the in-demand star as the Philippe Clement’s side seek a record transfer to price him away from the Jan Breydel Stadium.

Apart from winning the Belgian league in the recently concluded season, Dennis was also part of the team which won the Belgian top-flight title in 2018 and featured prominently as they finished as runners-up in the 2018-19 campaign.

Dennis has scored 26 goals in 97 games for the club since his €1.3m switch from Ukrainian side Zorya in July 2017.

On the international scene, the 22-year-old has made two appearances for the Super Eagles, against Brazil and Ukraine.

The forward will be expected to cement his place in the Nigeria national team in the upcoming back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers where Super Eagles are scheduled to face Sierra Leone.
