Former Newcastle defender Philippe Albert has advised Anderlecht star Leander Dendoncker against moving to West Ham and urged him hold out for a club like Tottenham or Manchester United.
Dendoncker has been a rumoured target of several Premier League clubs for some time. The 22-year-old Belgium international who can play in defence or midfield was casually linked with Manchester United last summer, while Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham are all reported to have taken an interest in the rising star.
However, Albert, an ex-Belgium star who left Anderlecht for Newcastle in 1994 and spent five years on Tyneside, has advised Dendoncker to avoid making a decision on his future solely for financial gain and suggested waiting 'two or three' more years in order to secure a move to a 'top' club.
