The defender has long been linked with a move to England and as recently as January was mentioned as part of a transfer deal to join Liverpool.

"We have had talks with Sevilla, Valencia and Salzburg, and West Ham have contacted us," Herman Van Holsbeeck, Anderlecht's sporting director, told Estadio Deportivo.

"We want to make the best possible decision and sell from the most profitable aspect for us, although we take into account the opinion of the player."
