Emmanuel Dennis is expected to leave the Belgian side this summer and Southampton face stiff competition for the attacker.

The in-demand attacker has been contacted by several clubs about a possible transfer including Southampton (via journalist Manu Lonjon).

The Saints, will have to compete with clubs like Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayern Leverkusen, and Napoli. So, it may take a lot of pursuing in order to get the player to the South Coast.

Dennis, is a talented attacker who is able to play up top or out on the right. He currently has 8 goals in all competitions this season and looking to take his talent to a bigger league.

He possesses loads of pace and could be just the player the Saints need up top to start really making defenses pay the price.

He will likely cost a good bit of money but that is the price you have to pay for young talent now a days. The 22-year-old, will be a great addition to any team he joins and I would like to see the Saints really pursue him.

He has experience in both the Champions League and the Europa League and could add a new exciting factor to the lineup.

Southampton, have struggled for goals over the past few seasons and it has to be tiring as a manager to watch. I would not be surprised if Ralph pulls the trigger on a new exciting striker that could bring a spark to the club.
