Anderlecht invites Chinese striker

Chinese striker Chen Tao will start his trial at Anderlecht starting from next Monday, the Belgian first division club said on Friday.

The club press officer Pierre Desmet said that Chen is expected to be at the club's training ground on Monday morning for ten days.

Anderlecht were impressed by Chen's performance in this summer's world youth championships and extended their invitation for the trial.

If the trial could lead to a contract, Chen would be the second Chinese player to play in the Belgian football league. Chen's compatriot Dong Fangzhuo currently plays in Belgian second division Antwerp.
