Newcastle are interested in signing Club Brugge forward Emmanuel Dennis in the summer, according to HLN.
The 22-year old is believed to have caught of the eye of many clubs in England and across Europe, with fellow Premier League outfits Brighton, Watford and Sheffield United also interested.
The striker, who has scored eight goals in 30 appearances for Club Brugge this season, including a brace against Real Madrid in the Champions League in October, is also said to be an option for Monaco, Borussia Dortmund and Sampdoria.
HLN’s report claims that it would take around £21million to tempt the Belgian club into selling the forward and that Dortmund are currently leading the charge, having regularly watched the player in action this season.

Described as a player who can play either as a striker or on either flank, Dennis’ versatility could be a valuable asset in Steve Bruce’s squad, a group of players that is lacking in attacking firepower.
Yoshinori Muto and Dwight Gayle both have had their respective futures at St James’ Park thrown into doubt, while big summer signing Joelinton has failed to impress, scoring just once in 25 Premier League appearances.
That just leaves Andy Carroll, who has been in and out of the Magpies’ team this season through injury issues.
Should Newcastle remain in the Premier League this season, and it looks as if they will do so, they will likely need to bolster their attacking options in the summer, and Dennis could be a solid option to strengthen that group of players.
