Manager Van Holsbeeck shed some light on the transfer soap of Romelu Lukaku: "There still is a long way in the negotiations", he said. So the rumours about Lukaku leaving this week, may have been a bit premature.


But the manager counts on Lukaku leaving: "We need some patience at the moment. When Romelu made his decision, we'll bring you more news." Lukaku leaving, would also give Anderlecht the necessary funds to do one or two big transfers. The Mauves are also looking for money to keep funding the stadium enlargement.

So what about Chelsea? Van Holsbeeck: "We are indeed negotiating with Chelsea, but there are also some other clubs we're still talking with."
Of course it's not a secret Romelu Lukaku is a Chelsea fan himself. The Blues are also eager to land the talent. So Van Holsbeeck's statements only seem to confirm that the London based club still is in pole position for the transfer of the Belgian striker.
