Anderlecht approached Bassette about transfer

TRANSFERS Norman Bassette has confirmed that RSC Anderlecht inquired about him, but the player opted for French club Stade Reims. Other clubs also attempted to lure the player, including FC Utrecht, KV Mechelen, and Schalke 04, but they also failed to secure a deal.


The interest in Bassette was not new: it was already reported in June. The Purple & White likely considered the Walloon striker, with a market value of just over 2 million, an affordable option. However, Bassette moved from Coventry to Reims last week on loan.
