Lokeren-Temse has completed a sensational transfer with the arrival of Radja Nainggolan. The 35-year-old midfielder, with an impressive record in the Italian Serie A and with the Red Devils, will strengthen the ranks of the second division until the end of the season.
After weeks of negotiations, the agreement was reached on Tuesday evening. Nainggolan will soon be training with us for the first time.
The Antwerp native played almost 400 games in the Serie A for top clubs such as AS Roma, Cagliari and Inter and wore the shirt of the Belgian national team 30 times during the glory days of the Red Devils. His experience and leadership are considered invaluable to a side currently battling relegation.
The club is currently only three points above the relegation zone in the second division, with fourteen games left to play.
-The arrival of Nainggolan is a sign that Lokeren-Temse is doing everything it can to turn the tide. Earlier this week, the club already brought in Daniel Perez, a promising player from Club NXT, on loan. With these reinforcements, Sporting wants to step up a gear in the coming weeks and collect points to maintain themselves in the competition.
For Nainggolan, this transfer means a return to Belgian football, after previously playing for Antwerp. His time at the Great Old brought sporting successes, but also some controversy. After leaving Antwerp and a short spell at SPAL in Italy, he is taking on a new challenge.
