INTERVIEWS Yesterday, Anderlecht presented its newest addition, Yannick Bolasie. The Congolese striker looked relaxed and talked smoothly. Anderlecht is no stranger to him. "It's a big club and I know its history, I want to bring them back where they belong."


"Through my friends Lukaku, Mbemba and Mbokani I heard a lot about Anderlecht," says Bolasie. "I know where I got in. When I told Lukuku that Anderlecht showed interest, he looked at me - it was through FaceTime - and he immediately said " go. "Anderlecht have worked hard to get the transfer through, hopefully I can repay on the field the trust they have in me. "

"I want to discover something new"

Bolasie played the first half of the season on a loan basis at Aston Villa. He himself decided to leave, he emphasizes. "There was no real reason, I needed change, there was a clause in my contract and I used it, and now I'm here, so I made the right choice to leave."

"I played at all levels in England, a transfer to a club outside of England seemed good for my development, I want to discover something new, when I see foreign players in England, I notice that they have something different. I want to pick it up and add it to my game. "

"When I am amused, the Bolasie flick comes naturally"

We may already be seeing Bolasie at work on Sunday. "I'm ready to play, I trained normally, so I'm ready," said the striker. "Anderlecht is fifth and there are play-offs in Belgium, which is an advantage for us. I saw a lot of good young players here and hopefully my experience will help the team, I want to bring Anderlecht back where it belongs."

Bolasie is best known in England for the Bolasie flick. "I did it this season during an international match with Congo. If I will do it on Sunday, it will depend on how the game goes, if I do something like that, then I enjoy the match, and if I am amused, it will come naturally, but the team is most important. "
