West Ham United have been linked with a move for Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker in recent times.
West Ham do have an interest in the Belgian midfielder, but he is not at the top of David Moyes’ transfer wishlist.
West Ham have their eyes on other talent, but they could make a big mistake by passing up their opportunity to sign Dendoncker.
The 22-year-old is a hugely exciting talent, who could offer a great deal to West Ham over the years ahead.
Dendoncker is blessed with a wonderful range of passing, but he also has the defensive quality to provide an effective shield in front of defence.
Dendoncker’s form at Anderlecht has drawn a number of admiring glances, and it seems a matter of time before he makes the step away from Belgian football.
West Ham currently have a chance of jump ahead of the competition, but by hesitating, they are risking allowing one of their rivals to sign the youngster.
And, if Dendoncker does go on to fulfil his potential elsewhere, West Ham could look back on their decision not to force through a deal for the Belgian international with great regret.
