Sint-Truidense V.V. has officially secured the permanent transfer of winger Arbnor Muja, winning a competitive recruiting battle against Royal Antwerp FC to bring the attacker back to Stayen, according to local football reports. Muja returns to the Belgian club following a productive loan stint last season that helped power STVV to a historic third-place finish in the Jupiler Pro League standings.
The Return of Arbnor Muja to Stayen
The deal became official following successful medical tests completed by Muja, ending weeks of speculation regarding his next career step. Several Belgian outlets reported on the finalization of the agreement, noting that Royal Antwerp FC also pursued the flank attacker before he ultimately chose to commit his future to STVV.
The winger joins a group of key players who have already signed new deals or extended their stays at the club, including defensive stalwarts Vanwesemael and Lendfers, club captain Shinji Koji Taniguchi, and central defender Bruno Pupe.
Squad Depth and Financial Realities
While the addition of Muja marks a major milestone for the club’s offensive options, technical staff remain active in the transfer market. According to statements published by Het Nieuwsblad, club management continues to scour the market for depth pieces to support the squad through a demanding campaign, though additions remain strictly dependent on budgetary capabilities.
With his medical examinations safely behind him and his registration complete, attention now shifts to how quickly manager Frederic De Meyer can integrate the returning winger into the starting lineup ahead of the club’s next fixture.
Next Steps and Fixture Outlook
STVV prepares for its upcoming matches with squad depth solidified by a marquee addition.
