How would Jonathan Legear still be like? Well, he sometimes makes himself heard with an opinion about Belgian football.
Jonathan Legear has now been portrayed himself, but can best appreciate the performance of the tastemakers on the Belgian football fields. For example, he is impressed by Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken. His own past at Anderlecht does not prevent Legear from sprinkling with compliments to the stronghold of Blauw-Zwart.
Vanaken has been taking Club Brugge as a playmaker for many years and has a contract until 2027 at the age of 33. He has never taken the step to a foreign competition and that will probably not happen anymore. Legear does not understand why it is that a player with such qualities could never play football abroad.

Vanaken good enough for top competition?
This position raises the former player of Anderlecht, Standard and STVV, among others SUDPRESS. He crawls into the head of the scouts of beautiful clubs from Spain, Germany and England. “Vanaken would always be on my list. Always!” Legear is certainly good enough to arouse interest from a top competition.
Legear believes that Vanaken makes the difference time and time again. “He is intelligent, has good walking lines, scores and he reads the game faster than others. For me he can stand in any European competition.” This includes highly regarded competitions such as the Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga.
West Ham made a bid at Vanaken in 2022
Vanaken was perhaps closest to a departure from Bruges in 2022. West Ham United made an offer for him three years ago. Club Brugge, however, refused this proposal and after that a transfer has never really been on top.
