According to a report in the Daily Mirror, West Ham United are set to re-ignite their interest in Leander Dendnocker in the summer transfer window.

David Moyes wants to bring in two midfielders for the Hammers when the transfer window re-opens, after his failure to do so in January.

West Ham had a range of targets last month, but were unable to get a permanent deal over the line for a midfielder.

Joao Mario did arrive on loan, but West Ham only have the Portuguese international until the end of the campaign, and strengthening their midfield has become a priority.

Dendoncker, who is currently at Anderlecht, was a deadline day target for the Hammers, but they were unable to complete a transfer – with the Belgian side wanting £20 million for their star man, according to the Daily Mail.

West Ham are now planning to move for the 22-year-old again, when they will have a whole summer to complete a deal.

Dendoncker could be brought in as Pedro Obiang’s replacement, as the Spanish midfielder has been linked with Fiorentina.
