YOUTH Anderlecht have failed to keep Eliot Matazo. After the last game of the U16 against Club Brugge yesterday, the 16-year-old player told our French-speaking editorial team that he is leaving Anderlecht. His new club will be AS Monaco.


The 16-year old Matazo is captain of the Belgian U16 and in the absence of Marco Cana also of the U16 of Anderlecht. The midfielder is considered as a very big talent and many foreign clubs wanted to capture him.

Anderlecht also wanted to keep Matazo, but his name was missing when Marc Coucke announced at the beginning of May that eleven upcoming talents had signed a professional contract. Then it sounded that the talks were still going on.

Now Matazo confirms to our editors that he leaves Anderlecht after nine years. At Monaco. he joins former Anderlecht players Youri Tielemans and Francesco Antonucci.
