ARSENAL are reportedly set to raid Club Brugge for star striker Emmanuel Dennis.
The Mail claims Mikel Arteta has lined up a £22million bid for the Nigerian ace as he braces for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s exit this summer.
The Gabon forward is out of contract in 2021 and unlikely to sign a new deal.
Arsenal are ready to cash in when the next transfer window opens.
And it’s believed Arteta already has a replacement lined up in Dennis.
The hitman, 22, has scored nine goals this season – including a Champions League brace against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Like Aubameyang, Dennis possess blistering pace and is also renowned for his intense pressing and energy.
However, Arsenal may have to move quickly as the youngster is also being eyed by Sheffield Utd, Watford, Newcastle and Brighton.
Indeed, Brugge boss Philppe Clement believes it will be very hard to keep Dennis in Belgium this summer.
Clement told La Dernier Here: “It is very likely Dennis will leave.
“He can also count on a lot of interest. It is the time for him to take a new step.”
