Benteke to Anderlecht: Missing Piece for the Mauves?

Christian Benteke will leave Major League Soccer behind. The former Red Devil played for DC United in recent seasons and made a big impression in the American football competition.

According to Jürgen Geril, a player like Benteke is exactly the type of player that RSC Anderlecht is missing. “In 100 matches for the American DC United, the 35-year-old Benteke has scored 49 times in recent years. He could be a pillar on which the young RSCA team can build,” said Geril at The Newspaper.

Previously, the rumors that Benteke would return to the JPL were denied by Benteke’s agent. “A target man of 1.90 meters who can keep track of a ball and head in a cross. Something the Mauves do not have now, even though they scored twice against STVV from stationary phases.”

“A bear like Benteke could – if his wages are affordable – be an extra weapon with Cvetkovic as a stand-in,” it said.

In episode 20 of the second season of Tijd voor Voetbal, the convincing victories of STVV and KVC Westerlo are discussed. Club Brugge, Union and RSC Anderlecht not winning and is there a goalkeeper problem at KRC Genk? That and much more in Time for Football.
