10 players top Premier League clubs can sign to catch up with Manchester City

#5 Leander Dendoncker

Belgium has continued to roll out excellent players with Leander Dendoncker the latest one

If you follow the transfer rumours closely, then you will have noticed this Belgian being linked first with West Ham and then with Manchester United. The Belgian has been a key part of Anderlecht and is gunning for a place in Belgium's squad for the World Cup.

The Big Belgian is strong, excellent in the air and like all the Belgian players, he is extremely comfortable on the ball. His physique makes him an ideal Premier league defender and if recent history has shown anything, then like all of his compatriots, Dendoncker should be able to adapt to Premier league considerable ease.

Dendoncker is young, talented and on the watch list of every big club across Europe. A move across leagues this window might not happen but he has a big future ahead of him.

The following clubs should look to sign the player

Manchester United - With Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof, United has a centre-back partnership for the future but they still lack the toughness and steeliness that is generally associated with a United side.

While Jones has been superb, he is extremely injury prone. Smalling and Rojo are far too inconsistent

Liverpool - They just need to replace Matip, Klavan and Lovren. Liverpool have required a top centre-back for years and has recently purchased Van Dijk for a world record fee.

But they will still look to acquire one more defender and the Belgian looks to have all the attributes to complement Van Dijk.
