Leander Dendoncker 'turns down Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers'

Dendoncker 'turns down Palace, Wolves'

Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker has reportedly rebuffed strong interest from Premier League duo Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 23-year-old, who appeared once for Belgium at this summer's World Cup, has also previously been touted as a target for Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton and West Ham United.

According to The Sun, though, Dendoncker will not be on his way to the English top flight this summer, despite being a prime midfield target for Palace and Wolves earlier in the window.

A source close to the player is quoted by the publication as saying: "All the options that Leander had are now disappearing.

"For example, he has rejected offers from Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton. He listens a bit too much to certain people who don't understand how the football business works."

Dendoncker has won one Belgian league title and two Belgian Super Cups with Anderlecht during his five-year senior career.
