Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker has attracted interest from a number of top European sides. But who will win the race for the Belgian?

The 22-year-old finds himself more in-demand than ever before. When the player takes to the field in his next game against Amberes, representatives from three top European sides will be in attendance to check on the young Belgian's progress.

When Dendoncker broke into the Anderlecht starting 11 in 2014, much was expected of the player and thus far he certainly hasn't disappointed. A string of fantastic performances have brought the player to the attention of Manchester United, AC Milan and RB Leipzig, though United already have first hand experience of the player, after he powered home a header against them in the Europa League quarter-final first leg between Anderlecht and United last season.

The Belgium international is contracted to his current employers until 2021, though it is understood that he would find the chance to move to one of Europe's top leagues hard to turn down.

Time will tell if Dendoncker is capable of making the step up to one of Europe's top clubs but for now, they are at least aware of his potential.
