West Ham United wanted midfielder Leander Dendoncker to move to the London Stadium in the summer, but David Moyes wasn’t keen.
Dendoncker was heavily linked to West Ham throughout January, but they failed to get a deal done.
The Belgian midfielder remains on the Hammers’ wishlist for the summer, yet Moyes isn’t said to be keen on the midfielder.
Why doesn’t Moyes want him?
Moyes’ future is currently being speculated about, and his transfer strategy is, perhaps, one of the frustrations for West Ham fans.
The Scottish boss appears to prefer the likes of Joe Allen and Jonjo Shelvey, over taking a risk on Dendoncker.
Allen and Shelvey are solid Premier League options, but hardly the kind of players to push West Ham on to the next level.
Dendoncker could be though, as the 22-year-old looks to be a huge talent.
Dendoncker is regarded as one of the top midfielders in Europe, and he should be considered a huge coup for West Ham.
And if Moyes is to be the right man to push West Ham on to the next level, then bringing in players like Dendoncker should be considered a top priority, rather than an after-thought.
