Palace face competition to sign Belgium midfielder

Crystal Palace face competition for midfield target and Anderlecht star Leander Dendoncker, with West Ham and Valencia also in the race.

The Eagles were believed to be interested in signing the 23-year old Belgian in January, while West Ham saw a move fall apart on deadline day.

Now according to Belgian publication Voetbalkrant, as reported by Football.London, La Liga outfit Valencia have emerged as an interested party.

Dendocker’s future has looked to be away from Anderlecht for a while now, with the young midfielder hoping to follow in fellow Anderlecht starlet Youri Tielemans’ footsteps and make the leap to Europe.

While he is believed to be West Ham’s top target this summer, he will wait until after the World Cup to make a decision, having been named in Belgium’s preliminary 28-man squad.

With Yohan Cabaye’s future at Selhurst Park uncertain, Palace could well look to step up their interest once Dendoncker is open to negotiation.
