Tottenham Hotspur should make a bid for Anderlecht’s Leander Dendoncker.
With Eric Dier seemingly likely to continue as one of Tottenham’s three centre-backs next term, there is room for another midfielder to join Spurs.
And Dendoncker would fit the bill perfectly for what Mauricio Pochettino is looking for.
Tottenham have not gone for established targets in recent times, with the North London side favouring young players with masses of potential.
And Dendoncker certainly appears to be a future star, with the Belgian playing brilliant at Anderlecht over the past season.
Dendoncker possesses masses of defensive qualities, and also has the technical capabilities to fit into Tottenham’s passing style.
While he wouldn’t be a regular starter upon arrival at Spurs, the 22-year-old could be a superb rotational option for Pochettino.
And if Spurs aren’t prepared to spend big wages, then Dendoncker looks to be one of the best players available to the Lilywhites this season.
With United and Chelsea both linked, Spurs may need to act fast though – otherwise they could live to regret not moving for Dendoncker, while they had the chance.
