An Argentinian fan talking about the new signings

Through the years many Argentinian footballers left for foreign countries. For the first time also Anderlecht gets involved now in those debates. The market became thoroughly scouted and many talents were discovered.


Christian Leiva of AC Banfield and Lucas Biglia of Independiente FC signed in Brussels. Both players were very important for their respective teams. Here a summary follows, based on experiences of our Argentinian source.

"Christian Leiva, called El Negro is a strong middenvelder with many passion for the game. He is known as a real team player. Each team for which he plays, he carries in his heart. Apart from his working talents, he has also many experience.
Because of this he is very flexible. By Banfield, he was one of the most constant players. Teamspirit, power, flexibility and experience are hes skills.

Lucas Biglia had a difficult beginning. Although he slowly grew through with Argentinos Juniors, where he caught the attention of Independiente. Suddenly he flourished and one good match followed after the other. Biglia is still young, but already gained a lot of experience on the highest level. An excellente ball handling, understanding and dynamics and many sacrifice are his characteristics."

According to our connections in Argentina, these transfers are absolutely a good deal for Anderlecht. According to him, both players are even from a higher level than Nicolas Frutos.
