Dennis Praet gestures towards a Sampdoria team-mate
It is understood the Serie A club and Praet have a verbal agreement that he will be allowed to leave this window, fuelling speculation that Arsenal is his next destination.Previously, Newcastle United and Liverpool have kept tabs on the talented 25-year-old, who was tipped for greatness at a young age in his homeland.So what kind of player can Gooners be expected to see if he moves to north London? Below you can see everything you need to know about Dennis Praet.

What’s the latest gossip?

Arsenal have been linked with a double swoop for Praet and Sampdoria team-mate Joachim Andersen.According to SampNews24, the Gunners are set to put in a 44million bid for both players, although the figure varies in other publications, and the Serie A side are set to accept.Meanwhile, Praet himself toldHet Laatste Nieuws: “I want to move to a top club in one of the four top leagues. I don’t have a release clause, but Sampdoria have verbally agreed to grant me a move if an interesting offer arrives.”David Seaman complains about Arsenal's lack of ambition

Club career so far

Having been touted as an excellent youth prospect and earned trials at sides including Arsenal, the midfielder spent four years in the first-team at Anderlecht after a breakthrough campaign in 2011/12.He scored 27 goals in 182 appearances across all competitions, while he also made 39 assists during this time.Praet’s talents eventually earned him a 10million switch to Sampdoria in 2016 and in his three year spell he’s been a mainstay in the starting XI but his goal contributions have decreased, seeing him score just four goals and create seven in three campaigns, although his main function with the side is to help progress the ball.Praet shifts the ball while being chased by Fiorentina star Jordan VeretoutGetty Images5

How much is he likely to cost?

Praet himself has quashed talk of Arsenal having to pay a set fee to sign him so we can either believe both he and Andersen will cost 22million each or perhaps consider one is worth more than the other.Previously The Sun claimed it would take 21.75million to prise the player away so we reckon it’s safe to say it’s most likely to be the former of the two situations.

International experience?

It’s pretty hard being a Belgian footballer right now given their ‘Golden Generation’ is at its peak with young stars like Leander Dendoncker also coming through.Praet is, though, in Roberto Martinez’s current squad having previously earned just three caps for his nation having made his debut back in 2014.Praet takes stock during a clash between Sampdoria and Chievo VeronaGetty Images5

What is being said about him?

Former Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo“Praet can be the Modric or the Pjanic of tomorrow because he knows how to play, fight and has the right competitive spirit ”Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger“When he was 15 or 16 years old, he came with Kyle Ebecilio who, in between, went back to Holland.“At the time, he was judged I didnt know he was here, I didnt know him at the time a bit weak physically.“Since then he has developed well. I was honestly impressed by his performance when we played in the first game [which Arsenal won 2-1 in Anderlecht in 2014].”Denis Praet: Young star heads elsewhere - Click the yellow arrow, above, right, to see more Arsenal transfer newsgetty5

Ex-Anderlecht team-mate Tom De SutterDennis plays like Iniesta.Hes got good technique; hes solid, holds on to the ball well, keeps things simple and doesnt panic. His vision of the game is incredible.

How will he fit into Arsenal’s team?

Currently, Praet plays on the right side of a midfield three in Serie A, picking the ball up from Albin Ekdal – Lucas Torreira’s replacement – and moving the ball forward with short passing or the odd dribble.He’s capable of drifting into a wider role too with Sampdoria not using traditional wingers, favouring two forwards, while many believe he could thrive in a freer role between the lines.Given he’s used to a 4-3-1-2, Praet should acclimatise to his role at Arsenal quickly, which would likely see Torreira deployed as a No.6, with either Granit Xhaka or Matteo Guendouzi on the left of the trio.Is this how Arsenal would look with Praet in the team?5
