The winter transfer market opens this Tuesday in Belgium and will continue until Monday February 3. Let’s take a look at the situations of the main clubs in the Pro League, the Belgian football championship.
Currently tenth in the standings, Standard Liège is having a less complicated season than expected. However, uncertainties remain regarding a possible takeover of the club at registration number 16. Although they are capable of solid defensive performances, the Liège attackers struggle to find the net. With only twelve goals scored in twenty matches, the Rouches attack is going through a drought, the worst in the Belgian elite. Although Andi Zeqiri and Dennis Eckert have shown promise, the club is closely tracking Andreas Hountondji, a 22-year-old striker from Benin. Regardless, Standard has confirmed the arrival of Ibrahim Karamoko, a player capable of playing in both central defense and defensive midfielder.
On the other hand, at Sporting Anderlecht, the situation is quite the opposite. They score goals (36 in 20 matches), but paradoxically, it is the defense that raises concerns, despite having the best defense in the country (18 goals conceded, tied with Union Saint-Gilloise) . Jan Vertonghen suffered a setback, depriving the team of invaluable experience. Mathias Jorgensen, nicknamed Zanka, is struggling to convince and has already been linked with transfers to other clubs. Another point of attention is potential departures. Mario Stroeykens and Kasper Dolberg are expected to stay, but some offers cannot be refused.
