Winter transfers Jupiler Pro League: AA Gent announces first transfer à la “Love Actually”

AA Gent has been able to propose a first winter transfer with Leonardo Da Silva Lopes. The Portuguese midfielder played for Cercle Brugge last year, but he was unable to capitalize on his strong season with a transfer to England and was suddenly a free player.

Now Da Silva chooses Ghent, where he signed a contract for 3.5 years. “He is the kind of defensive midfielder we didn’t have before,” said Arnar Vidarsson, sports manager at Ghent.
