Crystal Palace are reportedly looking to recruit Anderlecht and Belgium midfielder Leander Dendoncker in the close-season should they survive in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace have reportedly reignited their interest in Anderlecht and Belgium midfielder Leander Dendoncker.

The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a switch to West Ham United in January, but the move never came to fruition.

According to The Sun, Palace also tried to make a move for Dendoncker in the winter transfer window, only to be rebuffed by Anderlecht.

The report claims that the Belgian giants have given the holding midfielder the green light to leave the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in the summer and will seek £13m for his services.

With Palace six points clear of the Premier League dropzone heading into the last three matches of the season, Roy Hodgson has identified Dendoncker as a primary target to bolster the squad in the top flight next term.

Dendoncker is contracted to Anderlecht until 2021 and is expected to be part of Roberto Martinez's Belgium side for the Russia World Cup.
