The agent of Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis says Manchester United and Arsenal were keen to sign him.
He put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club over the summer, but may have headed to either United or Arsenal if they had matched Club Brugge's price tag.
"Arsenal were interested in the past and Manchester United were also interested, but for Club Brugge were demanding a ridiculous fee for him," Drew Uyi told The Football Show YouTube channel.
"They wanted £25m, while these clubs were prepared to pay £15m.
"In the end he joined Watford for £3.4m because his contract was running out.
"He was frustrated at Club Brugge, he was not happy because no young man would be if he were stopped from such opportunities [as Arsenal and Manchester United]."
