Anderlecht will take efforts to keep Hassan

Manager Van Holsbeeck will go far in his efforts to keep Ahmed Hassan in Anderlecht. The Egyptian playmaker has admitted missing his wife and children, and is looking to leave the club at the end of the season.


Van Holsbeeck: "Hassan is a typical Anderlecht player. He takes a lot of risks and is not afraid to make an individual action. On top of that, he's a real professional. He's not a typical lazy playmaker who's only of use for the team when he has the ball. He does a lot of work when the team doesn't have possession as well."

After saturday's game against Charleroi, Hassan and the manager will have a meeting to discuss the midfielder's future. "Even if there's a small chance he will stay, we will do everything we can to keep him. If he misses his family, perhaps we can take measures to bring them over."
