On Friday, journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported Aston Villa’s Leander Dendoncker has given his approval to a return to Anderlecht on a loan deal. He also stated the midfielder is set to travel to Belgium to carry out medical tests with the Jupiler Pro League side.
Het Laatste Nieuws have shared a video of Dendoncker arriving for his Anderlecht medical at the Ghent University Hospital this morning.
Anderlecht coach Brian Riemer has been looking for an experienced defensive midfielder and the 29-year-old is seen as an ‘ideal’ fit. This is ‘absolutely not the case’ at Aston Villa, where he has been left out of Unai Emery’s plans.
Las Palmas tried to sign the Belgian on loan, but he’s keen on returning to Anderlecht. He’s now in Belgium to ‘finalise the final details’ of the loan transfer.
At this moment in time, HLN claims ‘nothing seems to stand in the way’ of Dendoncker leaving Aston Villa for Anderlecht on loan.
