According to several TV stations and newspapers, Cristian Leiva is joining Anderlecht. Leiva, a 28-year old Chilean, is a defensive midfielder playing for Banfield. Manager Van Holsbeeck denies a transfer for now.


Van Holsbeeck, traveling through Argentina, attended the game between Boca Juniors and Banfield. "Leiva is very interested in joining Anderlecht, but there was no deal made yet. There are now talks planned on Sunday either", he said.

Leiva is Banfield's captain and carries the nickname "El Negro". "Leiva is technically very skilled and fights for every ball", the newspapers wrote. The Flemish TV announced that Leiva signed for one year and that he costs 800,000 euro.
