West Ham United have been linked with the two midfielders ahead of the summer transfer window.
If West Ham United can bring in both Leander Dendoncker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer, then Manuel Pellegrini will have all the tools he needs to provide attacking football at the London Stadium next season.
Pellegrini has arrived at West Ham and claimed that he wants to play an attractive style of football.
To do so, he is going to need an injection of creativity, and Dendocker and Loftus-Cheek would provide that.
Dendoncker has been said to be a West Ham target by the Daily Mail, while The Sun (29th May, page 52) report that Loftus-Cheek is on Pellegrini’s radar.
Dendoncker is generally used as a defensive shield in midfield, but his technical ability would also be key.
Loftus-Cheek, meanwhile, would add power and creativity to the Hammers midfield ranks.
If West Ham could have a trio of Loftus-Cheek, Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic on the pitch at the same time, then West Ham would have a midfield line-up which would be the envy of most Premier League sides.
And Pellegrini’s options would start to look far better ahead of next season.
