West Ham are reportedly interested in signing the highly rated Anderlecht midfielder.
The report claims that the player is keen to move, but interested parties are dithering to meet his asking price. However, there is a strong possibility that he will leave the club this month.
However, HLN claim that despite retaining an interest in the 22-year-old, the Hammers are not willing to pay (more than) €20 million (£17.6 million) – the amount set by the Belgian club.
He is at the bottom of David Moyes’s wish list, so it remains to be seen whether the Hammers at all make a move for him in January.
The player wants to force the issue, and he prefers a move to the Premier League. However, Anderlecht are adamant that they will not sell the player, unless any potential club come up with a presentable offer.
The Belgian international has impressed since breaking into Anderlecht’s team, and would considerably improve Moyes’ midfield options.
