With Zanka’s performances disappointing and Vertonghen’s state of health still uncertain, Sporting Anderlecht is looking for a new central defender. A move similar to that achieved with Jan-Carlo Simic could be attempted.
The straw that broke the camel’s back. This Friday, Zanka was booed by his own crowd after his poor restart allowing Dender to equalize at Lotto Park.
The Danish defender has disappointed since his arrival at the start of the season, reacted with a wave of his hand when the boos were heard and could already leave the capital during the winter. He did not convince David Hubert.
In addition, Sporting is still uncertain about the state of health of Jan Vertonghen, who returned to the match sheet against Dender but who, unlike Thorgan Hazard, did not come on. Thu. The RSCA will certainly not want to rush the return of its captain, to avoid a new relapse.
However, this limits the options for the defensive compartment. This is why Sporting Anderlecht would like to recruit an additional central defender during the winter transfer window.
And, according to information from the Polish media Piłka Nożna, it is a move like Jan-Carlo Simic that could be attempted, since the Mauves would follow the situation of Jan Ziolkowski, a 19-year-old defender playing for Legia Warsaw. The U20 international, whose market value is estimated at 1.2 million euros, has played 11 Ekstraklasa matches this season. His contract at Legia ends in 2026, but has an option for a two-season extension.
