At the start of the transfer window, Sporting Anderlecht is getting busy. The lack of options in central defense will push Olivier Renard to strengthen this position with, probably, several high-level players.
Zanka on departure, Vertonghen injured, Lapage a little tender, Dendoncker not at ease behind: currently, the only high-level and professional central defender on whom David Hubert can count is Jan-Carlo Simic, who is not is only 19 years old. In short: there is an emergency for Olivier Renard.
And the RSCA sports director takes the bull by the horns. Recently, we relayed various rumors sending Nobel Mendy, Jordan Torunarigha but also the ex-Unionist Siebe Van der Heyden to Lotto Park (read here).
Adryelson puis Van der Heyden ?
This Friday, surprise from France: the very serious media L’Equipe announces that a total agreement has been reached between Anderlecht and Olympique Lyonnais concerning the loan with purchase option of Adryelson (26 years old), Brazilian defender recently champion of Brazil and South America with Botafogo (read here).
Renard’s first defensive reinforcement would therefore already have been found, even if it will now be necessary to wait for formalization. But if, of course, not all the names mentioned will join Lotto Park, we can expect a second central defender to sign.
This could well be Seven Van der Heyden. According to La Derniere Heure, despite the arrival of Adryelson, the former Union Saint-Gilloise could also sign for Anderlecht. It must be said that Adryelson is right-handed, and is therefore not an obvious replacement for Zanka, while Van der Heyden, as a left-hander, could more easily take his place alongside Simic.
An agreement would be found between Van der Heyden and the RSCA, even reports the Spanish press; It remains to find one between Mallorca and Sporting. To be continued.
