Anderlecht gets rid of Dimata, Vlap and Bakkali
Anderlecht had already closed the incoming section a while ago, but the core could still be slimmed down.
Michel Vlap and Landry Dimata in particular grumbled about their limited playing minutes and the duo got their way: the Dutchman goes to Bielefeld in the Bundesliga, Dimata can try his luck in the Spanish second division at Espanyol.
At the last minute, RSCA was also able to get rid of Zakaria Bakkali. Beerschot hires the 25-year-old winger until the end of the season.
Lamkel Zé is still participating at Antwerp
As expected – and as tradition dictates – Deadline Day was another troubled day at Antwerp.
The goalkeeper problem was dealt with with Eupen mercenary Ortwin De Wolf. Antwerp also hires 31-year-old French defender Maxime Le Marchand from Fulham.
No agreement was found with Waasland-Beveren about defender Aleksandar Vukotic. A solution was found for mercenary Cristian Benavente (he returns to Charleroi). Junior Pius will then play football again at STVV.
And enfant terrible Didier Lamkel Zé? The turbulence remains on board at Stamnummer 1.
Club loses Deli, Ghent brings in Tissoudali
At the other first division there were hardly any or no transactions to be recorded, although Club Brugge and AA Gent also took action.
Club sent Simon Deli back to his ex-club Slavia Prague for a few months, AA Gent pulled target Tarik Tissoudali away from Beerschot.
