Wolves are reportedly interested in signing Leander Dendoncker from Aston Villa before the end of the window.
Dendoncker joined Villa from Wolves in 2022 but has fallen out of favor with Unai Emery and spent the second half of last season on loan at Serie A side Napoli.
The midfielder did not get on well at Napoli and made just three appearances for the Italians, but could be offered an exit from Villa before Friday’s deadline.
Wolves interested in Dendoncker
Football insider report that Dendoncker’s former side Wolves are interested in offloading the 29-year-old and are hoping to secure a loan deal.
The report adds that there could be a potential stumbling block as another of Dendoncker’s former sides Anderlecht are also keen on signing the midfielder.
The midfielder made 159 appearances for Wolves during his time at Molineux, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists, while he has also played 171 times for Anderlecht, finding the back of the net 11 times.
Dendoncker’s time at Villa has not gone to plan and it is clear that he is beyond Emery’s requirements, and is unlikely to add to the 36 appearances he has made for the club.
With Friday’s deadline looming, Villa will face a race against the clock if they are to offload Dendoncker, and it is believed the club could also be working on one or two signings.
Villa have a strong interest in Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida, but according to some reports they need to raise money to finance a move for the Dutchman, who is believed to be valued at around £30million.
It’s been a busy summer for Villa and, despite losing Douglas Luiz and Moussa Diaby, they’ve invested heavily in the likes of Ian Maatsen and Amadou Onana, while also signing off on talented youngster Jaden Philogene as they prepare for La Liga football of Champions this season.
