West Ham United may still be in with a chance of signing long-term transfer target Leander Dendoncker from RSC Anderlecht this summer.
According to claims from Belgium, as cited by Calciomercato, the midfielder was initially likely to secure a move to Atletico Madrid after a preliminary agreement was reached between the two clubs.
However, it seems this option has ‘expired’, meaning that Dendoncker could well be up for grabs ahead of the summer transfer window.
It’s stated in the report that West Ham and Crystal Palace are both now considering making fresh bids after failing to land the young midfielder in January.
Dendoncker has been wanted by West Ham for around a year now and they saw their offers for him knocked back by Anderlecht in the January transfer window.
The Belgian international is capable of playing in central midfield but has also proven to be a competent centre-back when called upon.
Dendoncker, 23, is the current captain of Anderlecht and has been one of the club’s standout performers over the course of the last two seasons, piquing the interest of clubs across Europe.
