West Ham United, Everton and Crystal Palace have been linked with Anderlecht of Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

West Ham United are interested in signing Leander Dendoncker from Anderlecht in the summer transfer window, according to Het Nieuwsblad.

It has been reported by the Belgian media outlet that West Ham assistant manager Stuart Pearce scouted Dendoncker during Anderlecht’s match against Club Brugge at the Jan Breydel stadium this past weekend.

The Hammers’ Premier League rivals, Everton and Crystal Palace, are also claimed to be interested in securing the services of the 23-year-old defensive midfielder.

Keen on summer deal?

West Ham (reportedly) sending assistant manager Pearce to watch Dendoncker in action suggests that the London club are keen on securing the services of the Belgium international defensive midfielder.

With the Hammers having already secured their Premier League survival, it is encouraging that the London club are planning ahead to the 2018-19 campaign.

However, with Everton and Palace also reported to be interested in the 23-year-old, West Ham could face stiff competition for the services of the Belgium international defensive midfielder.
