Everton Express Interest in Leander Dendoncker
Everton have reportedly registered their interest in signing Aston Villa’s versatile midfielder Leander Dendoncker in the summer transfer window. According to Football Insider, the Toffees are keen on acquiring the 29-year-old Belgian international, who has struggled to establish himself at Villa Park.
Dendoncker’s career has stalled in recent years, having lost his spot at Wolverhampton Wanderers and failing to make an impact at Aston Villa and Napoli. Despite his ability to play as a holding midfielder, box-to-box midfielder, and centre-back, he has barely featured for Napoli during his loan spell, managing only 21 minutes of game time across three appearances.
Aston Villa are willing to listen to offers for Dendoncker, and Everton’s interest is understandable given their concerns over Amadou Onana’s long-term future and James Garner’s attracting interest from top clubs. Arsenal and Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing Onana, making it crucial for Everton to explore alternative options.
Dendoncker’s versatility and experience make him a viable target for Everton, who are looking to strengthen their midfield. However, it remains to be seen whether they can tempt him to leave Aston Villa and join the Toffees at Goodison Park in the summer transfer window.
The potential move could be a fresh start for Dendoncker, who has struggled to find consistency in his career. Everton, on the other hand, will hope to capitalize on Aston Villa’s willingness to sell and secure a valuable addition to their squad.
