Premier League duo Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace reportedly want to land Anderlecht’s Belgian international before the transfer window shuts.
The future of Leander Dendoncker could be decided at last before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday afternoon.
The Belgian international midfielder has been relentlessly linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months and it seems that he could finally be on his way to England at long last.
Het Belang Van Limburg have reported that both Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Dendoncker with £13.5 million probably enough to convince his current club, Anderlecht, to sell.
Wolves might have plenty of cash to splash but it seems that Palace are leading the chase as things stand. They are reported to be in talks with Dendoncker’s representatives.
And should Roy Hodgson’s side win the race, the classy and cultured 23-year-old could complete a new look midfield including Cheikhou Kouyate and the German international Max Meyer.
Wolves, however, could do with some added depth in central midfield while Dendoncker could also play the sweeper role in Nuno Espirito Santo’s back three.
Interestingly, Dendoncker’s agent told Foot Mercato last week that he had snubbed a move to Crystal Palace and Wolves. But with no bigger clubs seemingly making a move, it seems that Selhurst Park and Molineux are some of the few options available to him.
