Anderlecht seeks stand-in for Vertonghen

OTHER Anderlecht will enter the transfer market next winter mercato in search of a new left-footed central defender. With Jan Vertonghen, purple-white has just one of those. The club now wants to get a duplicate in case Vertonghen drops out.


When Vertonghen injured himself last week against Cercle, there was panic for a while. The position of left-footed central defender is the only one in the nucleus that is not double occupied. That's why the club patched him up to play anyway.

According to Het Nieuwsblad, purple-white does not want to go through something like that again. That's why it wants to get a stand-in for Vertonghen in January. It will probably be someone who has to accept being on the bench, because Vertonghen is the absolute number one.
