2019 could well be the year of Edo Kayembe. The 20-year old Congolese made a good impression during the winter training camp as a defensive midfielder and was also good against Ghent

It was during the winter training camp that Kayembe made a more than good impression. Rutten rewarded him with a place in the starting eleven against AA Ghent. Kayembe thanked Rutten with a more than decent performance. Logically, there is no longer talked about a loan. "

"I did not wanted that myself either," Kayembe is honest, "I want to make it at Anderlecht. I want to follow in the footsteps of my compatriots Chancel Mbemba and Dieumerci Mbokani. I did not got any chances under Vanhaezebrouck, but I never doubted about myself. It would have been just a matter of time before I got my chance. "

"Then came Rutten, a new coach, a new chance. It is unbelievable how much the coach talks to his players and I need that. How else can you know what the coach wants if he does not talk to you? And also Kums and Trebel always give me advice. The coach also gives me a lot of freedom on the field as long as I do my defensive work ", Kayembe concludes.
