He’s 21 and plays for the Congolese national team. After the game against Zulte Waregem he’s going to take the plane to Congo. “There will be a lot of shirts of Anderlecht in my suitcase, you can count on it”, said Mbokani.


“Europe is a big step for me. But I try to adapt as quickly as possible. I’m taking classes French, English and Dutch. I knew Anderlecht already for a long time. It’s the biggest team in Belgium. I knew players like Mbo, Kompany, Vanden Boree… I’m going to work hard. And one day I want to be able to play for a team like Barcelona or Manchester United. The first time I played for Anderlecht was against Charleroi. The next step is scoring and make sure that I’m always in the team.”
