INTERVIEWS Paul Mukairu has been missing his family for almost a year because of the health crisis. But the Nigerian feels good in Brussels, a long stay at RSC Anderlecht really appeals to him. Especially because of the trust he gets from Vincent Kompany.


It was a calm period for Mukairu during the holidays. His family is very far away and visiting them is not really an option because of Covid-19. The family can understand the whole situation and Mukairu is not a very big problem.

The winger mainly wants to focus on his career and keep working to get better. "There is still work to do, especially on heading and finishing. Working with a coach like Vincent Kompany is a huge boost to your confidence. He always encourages you in a positive way, even when you play poorly. You can make mistakes as long as you just keep fighting for the team. He's always doing everything to keep the pressure off us. "

Mukairu's rental deal expires at the end of the season. Anderlecht did negotiate a purchase option of three million euros from Antalyaspor. "I like being here. It was love at first sight with Anderlecht. I would love to stay, but that's not up to me."
