TRANSFERS What was in the air the last few days, has now also been officially confirmed by Anderlecht: Golden Boot Lior Refaelov has signed a two-year contract with Anderlecht. Incidentally, the Israeli is celebrating his 35th birthday today.


Refaelov was at the end of his contract with Antwerp, which bought him after a rental period from Club Brugge in 2019. He played 177 matches at Bruges and scored 40 goals. At Antwerp he found his best level and this season he has already scored fourteen times, including in the European campaign against Tottenham. As a reward for his strong period, Refaelov received the Golden Boot in January.

"Refaelov fits in the football that Anderlecht has in mind," said Peter Verbeke. He adds that Refaelov's experience, drive and professionalism can set an example for the young players.

The question now is what Antwerp will do with Refaelov for the rest of the season in the Champions Play-offs, in which it will of course play twice against Anderlecht. Simen Juklerod, who was also at the end of his contract, signed with Genk in the winter mercato and has been in the B-squad of the Great Old ever since.
