INTERVIEWS In the absence of a deep striker, Pieter Gerkens is currently in the attack. But what happens to Gerkens when Vincent Kompany has real striker at his disposal. "At the end of last season, the board told us that Pieter should not leave, but that he should not stay either," says father André Gerkens.


According to father Gerkens, his son's favorite position is not at the center front. "But Pieter realizes that the competition as an attacking midfielder is very fierce. The most important thing is that he plays."

André Gerkens believes that his son is not doing badly in this unusual position for him. "He is efficient and smart enough to fill it in as good as possible. Pieter is always fully committed and picks everything up quickly. Apparently he has managed to charm Kompany."

Anyway, the bench is soon coming for Gerkens. Can he accept this or does he want to leave? In recent months, Gerkens' name has been linked to Zulte Waregem and STVV. "Never say 'never', but if Pieter leaves, it will probably be abroad," concludes his father.
