Only Ezekiel allowed to leave

TRANSFERS Anderlecht would like one or two more incoming transfers this season to make sure there is more balance in the group. Nobody is allowed to leave the team, except for Imoh Ezekiel. A departure is negotiable for him.

"I feel sorry for Imoh. He is the only player who is disappointed here. He came here to play in a formation with two strikers but we never use that system. Ezekiel is allowed to leave if we can find an alternative for him", reacted Van Holsbeeck.

Idrissa Sylla is not allowed to leave, Anderlecht are even negotiating a new, improved contract with him. "Sylla is an example for the rest of the team. There was a lot of interest for him but we want to keep him", the manager said.

Ibrahima Conté can leave, but not to Ostend. "The board decided not to strenghten any opponent. Marc Coucke is financially stronger than us but we only want to work together with a team that has less ambition than us", said Van Holsbeeck. The player refused to join Kortrijk and Lokeren on loan trial.

Andy Najar caught the interest of Fiorentina, Sevilla, Tottenham and Arsenal." We did not receive a single offer for him", Van Holsbeeck claims.
