One man’s misfortune is another man’s fortune.

That’s what Het Nieuwsblad are getting at in their Monday edition as they report Leander Dendoncker to West Ham could be back on.

Pedro Obiang’s knee injury is seen as a development which could push David Moyes into action, and finally get Dendoncker to English football.

On Saturday claims came from Belgium that David Moyes is the one holding up a transfer for the midfielder, with the manager not being completely convinced.

The Premier League club’s board were said to be keen, and scout Tony Henry described as a big fan, but Dithering Dave wasn’t so sure. That backed up earlier claims of Moyes being left unconvinced from West Ham’s last scouting of the player.

Het Nieuwsblad firmly believe West Ham remain in the running to sign Dendoncker this week, and that was thought to be case even before Obiang picked up an injury which is why the Spaniard being stretchered off is seen as key.

Will Dithering Dave suddenly have a moment of clarity and jump on the Dendoncker train? There’s just two days left to find out.
