Anderlecht‘s transfer policy has been criticized in recent times. However, Jesper Fredberg has already managed to attract some successful players to Lotto Park, despite criticism which is not entirely unjustified.
Under his tenure, Keisuke Goto landed in Neerpede. The young player is becoming more and more talked about with the RSCA Futures. So much so that, contrary to what had been announced, Anderlecht would ultimately like to take him back permanently from his original club, Iwata.
11 goals in 22 appearances
This season, Goto is exploding with Sporting’s second team, with whom he has already scored five goals in eight matches. In total, the striker, currently preferred to Robbie Ure up front, has 11 goals in 22 appearances. A statistic that is not unpleasant, far from it. Reason enough for Anderlecht to buy him definitively.
Although he also negotiated a purchase option of two million, Fredberg does not intend to pay the entire sum. It was previously revealed that negotiations have been underway for some time now. This may also relate to Goto’s personal terms, but in the past Fredberg has often shown himself willing to negotiate the price.
Modern striker
Given his recent performances, it would not seem appropriate to procrastinate for long. Unless agreed, Goto will return to Japan after the New Year anyway.
If it was up to Jelle Coen, her bosses need not hesitate. “He is very keen to learn, he weighs on the defense and he is a modern striker who plays at high intensity and works very hard,” the U23 coach told Het Nieuwsblad. “He is strong in the head, has depth and a great ability to run to put pressure even without the ball. »
