West Ham Eye Anderlecht Star Leander Dendoncker Amid Injury Crisis

West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker after Hammers coach Stuart Pearce was recently spotted scouting the Belgian.

As confirmed by journalist Kristof Terreur, West Ham coach Pearce was in attendance to watch Anderlecht's victory over Genk on Sunday. According to Terreur, the Hammers are keen on signing Dendoncker, however the Belgian side are not interested in selling their star man.

Dendoncker has predominantly played as a holding midfielder for Anderlecht, and on the odd occasion has filled in at centre-half. The Belgian is currently under contract until 2021 with the Belgian giants and if a move where to happen in this window the fee would be in the region of £20m.
