Niakaté physically too limited for system-Vanhaezebrouck

TRANSFERS Although his management said that the transfer was blown off because no financial agreement was found, Het Nieuwsblad knows that the physical capacities of Sikou Niakité are the cause of his transfer to Anderlecht. His engine is too limited.


Hein Vanhaezebrouck needs players with enormous physical capacities to play his beloved 3-4-2-1. The medical and physical tests of Niakite showed that the 19-year-old Frenchman's engine is too small. Despite an agreement with Valenciennes, Anderlecht blew off the deal.
