Borussia Dortmund are reportedly one of five clubs to have made a formal enquiry for Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis.

Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reported last month that Borussia Dortmund have been following the progress of Emmanuel Dennis. Now Eurosport France claim that the Black and Yellows are one of five clubs to have contacted Club Brugge regarding the availability of the 22 year old versatile forward.

Bundesliga clubs RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Italian side Napoli and Premier League club Southampton are said to be the other clubs interested in signing the highly rated forward. The report adds that Borussia Dortmund have already begun formal discussions about a possible transfer for the Nigerian international.

Dennis has been primarily used as a number nine by Club Brugge, but he is also comfortable playing on either wing. He has nine goals and two assists in 33 appearances in all competitions this season. His goals include a brace away to Real Madrid in the Champions League, and one against Manchester United in the Europa League.

Dennis’ current deal with Club Brugge does not expire for another two years, but the report claims that he is expected to leave the Belgian side in the summer.

Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a number of attacking players in recent months, as they look to prepare for the potential summer exit of Jadon Sancho. The Black and Yellows are also said to be tracking the progress of Valencia’s Ferran Torres and Gremio’s Everton Soares.
