Traditionally, the Jupiler Pro League will say goodbye to various trendsetters next summer. One of the players who is eligible for a nice transfer is Kévin Denkey. There is certainly no shortage of interest in the top scorer of Cercle Brugge.
After developing for several seasons at the French Nîmes Olympique, the Togolese attacker was taken over by Groen-Zwart at the beginning of 2021. It immediately became clear that he had the necessary potential. But also that it was far from a finished product.
However, last season he was able to continue to grow quietly in the shadow of Ayase Ueda. When the Japanese left for Feyenoord last summer for the necessary millions, coach Miron Muslic resolutely chose Denkey. And that choice paid off optimally.
Big game in Europe
The 23-year-old striker has already scored 26 goals in 35 matches across all competitions this season. He also impressed with his physical appearance and has the necessary growth potential. There is little doubt that the Togolese will take a nice step next summer.
In any case, his name is already listed with several foreign teams. And some leading clubs. So reports Footmercato that top teams such as Borussia Dortmund, SSC Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur and many others came to scout him in recent months.
New champion
However, according to the French medium, one top club is currently the most concrete: Bayer Leverkusen. The newly crowned German champions signed Victor Boniface from Union SG last summer and the transfer was a considerable success. Denkey hopes for a repeat of that scenario. Although Leverkusen will have to come up with a significant amount. “We do not commit ourselves to an asking price,” TD Rembert Vromant said this week. However, the above-mentioned medium mentions around 20 million euros.
