The Wolverhampton Wanderers man has recently started to show what he is truly capable of.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo raved about the quality of Leander Dendoncker when speaking to reporters yesterday, labelling the Belgian as a ‘special player’, as quoted by the club’s official website.
The 24-year-old joined the Black Country outfit from Anderlecht on a season-long loan last summer, but he initially struggled to settle at Molineux.
Dendoncker has really come into his own in recent weeks and months, however, and he is starting to look like a real player.
The Belgium international has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Wolves this season, and his versatility has proven to be a real asset for Nuno’s side.
The Portuguese gaffer spoke to reporters, and suggested that Dendoncker is a special player, highlighting the 24-year-old’s work ethic as a key feature of his game, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“I’m happy for him. I’m happy for the team. Leander doesn’t have to say anything, I’m happy for him, but I’m happy because did you see the amount of ground he covered? It’s amazing. It’s special.”
Dendoncker’s loan deal will be made permanent in the summer, according to BBC Sport, and if he continues to improve, Wolves will have a seriously good player on their hands.
