RSC Anderlecht wants to sign Nigerian forward Chidera Ejuke from Sevilla FC, but must first convince the Spanish club to sell him. Ejuke has a past with Antwerp FC. The sporting director of Anderlecht, Antoine Sibierski, sees an opportunity in the situation and wants to strengthen the attack of his club. With Danylo Sikan and Mihajlo Cvetkovic, the core of Anderlecht has almost no two strikers. Vitor Bruno does not see Adriano Bertaccini as a true number nine. The Portuguese coach of Anderlecht has already mentioned several times that he wants to experiment with a two-striker system. The problem is that Bruno does not have that possibility. He cannot simply switch or adjust with the two strikers that the core currently has. Anderlecht inquired a month ago with Sevilla FC about the conditions of the Nigerian. The Spanish tradition club asked at the time for four million euros for the 28-year-old winger. Anderlecht backed off, but kept the file in sight. The current situation? Ejuke is still walking around in Andalusia, while Sevilla is urgently looking for money. And that's where Anderlecht wants to profit. Sibierski wants to make a new attempt to bring Ejuke to Brussels. And the Frenchman does not want to pay too much. For completeness: Transfermarkt estimates the market value of the Nigerian at four million euros. The sporting director is aiming for a transfer fee that is lower than that amount. Interesting to know: Ejuke has a past with Antwerp FC. The winger was hired by The Great Old in 2023 from CSKA Moscow and chose after his Belgian chapter for a transfer to Spain. The 14-time Nigerian international has also worn the shirts of sc Heerenveen and Hertha BSC. League standing: 5th in Jupiler Pro League, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W.
