Arsenal are trying to build a better squad so that they can battle higher up the division next season, and this has seen them add a striker to their list of transfer targets.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are among a host of clubs across Europe who are keen on 22 year-old forward Emmanuel Dennis.

The Gunners, as well as Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Inter Milan and fellow Premier League sides Everton and Leeds are all monitoring the player.
The 22 year-old currently plays his football for Club Brugge, who are the reigning Belgian champions. This shows that Dennis is playing at a good level, and he has 28 goals and 10 assists in 104 appearances for the club, per Transfermarkt, which includes games in the Champions League.
With an average of more than one goal contribution per three matches, Dennis is a potent presence in the attacking area of the pitch and this was proven in his masterclass against European giants Real Madrid back in October 2019 in the Champions League in which he scored a brace at the Santiago Bernabeu to make sure Brugge returned back to Belgium with a point.
With his age, he is definitely showing potential that he can be a great striker, and a move to a club like Arsenal in the Premier League could be an ideal transfer for both Dennis and the Gunners. Valued at just £14.4m, he is unlikely to cost too much either.
