Leander Dendoncker has reportedly emerged as a possible departure from Wolverhampton Wanderers during the January transfer window.

Wolves beat a number of clubs to secure the signature of Dendoncker in the summer, and the Premier League outfit must pay Anderlecht a fee of £12m at the end of the campaign to sign the Belgium international on a permanent basis.

However, the 23-year-old is yet to make a single outing in the top flight, and according to Voetbal Nieuws, the defensive-minded player could be allowed to sign for another team at the midway point of the season.

Wolves have a busy schedule over the next five weeks and much could depend on whether Dendoncker - who has only featured in the EFL Cup - gets an opportunity to impress during the West Midlands outfit's upcoming fixtures.

Clubs in a number of European football's top leagues are likely to be interested should Dendoncker be made available for a permanent or temporary transfer.
