He was the unexpected recruit of the winter transfer window of Club Brugge. And in five games, he has established himself as the biggest threat to the reigning Belgian champion. Andreas Skov Olsen martyred the Seraing defense on Saturday night by scoring a hat-trick with an assist. Enough to show that in their share of not always successful transfers, the Blauw & Zwart can always pull out an excellent pick.
The arrival ofAndreas Skov Olsen for 7M€ during the winter transfer window responded to an urgent need at Alfred Schreuder. Anxious to establish a new dynamic in the game of Bruges, the Dutch tactician decided to change the animation of Bruges and install it in a very specific 3-5-2. Only problem, how to occupy the flanks of this 3-5-2? Considering that Clinton Mata is more valuable to the right of the defensive trident, FC Bruges finds itself well deprived in the position of right winger. Or Kamal Sowah (loaned), nor Joseph Left (return of loan), nor Ignace Van der Brempt (sold during the winter in Salzburg) did not settle there permanently. This is how Andreas Skov Olsen arrives. A name that has some familiarity for the followers of the Italian championship. At 22, he already has two and a half seasons in Serie A behind him, with around seventy matches played on the side of Bologna and a reputation as an esthete.
