Antwerp loses two players: Zeno Van Den Bosch has been transferred to Union Berlin and Kiki Kouyaté has chosen Saudi Arabia. Van Den Bosch (22) was a youth product of Antwerp and has much praise for the club.

What happened?

Zeno Van Den Bosch has signed a contract with Union Berlin. He said: “My time at Royal Antwerp has formed me enormously, both in the youth training and, especially, as a young pro at the highest level.”

Why is this important for Antwerp?

The transfer of Van Den Bosch is a loss for Antwerp, but the club has recently achieved a win: Antwerp 2-0 KVC Westerlo (2026-05-23). Kiki Kouyaté (29) has, after playing in Morocco, Portugal and France, chosen Antwerp last summer.

What comes next?

Antwerp must now look for replacements for Van Den Bosch and Kouyaté. The club still has a lot of talent, but the transfers of these two players will certainly be felt. | Player | New club | | --- | --- | | Zeno Van Den Bosch | Union Berlin | | Kiki Kouyaté | Saudi Arabia | Antwerp will have to survive without these two players. The coming weeks will be exciting for Antwerp's fans
