What happened?
Luis Vazquez, Anderlecht's 25-year-old striker, has moved to Birmingham in England for a fee of 3.5 million euros, ending his time in Brussels.
Why did he leave?
Vazquez was not able to establish himself as a regular player in Brussels. He scored 18 goals and provided 5 assists in 116 appearances for Anderlecht, but never became the undisputed number one striker. He was loaned out to Getafe last season, where he played better and the club wanted to keep him. However, Anderlecht could not come to an agreement, so Vazquez returned to Neerpede.
What lies ahead for Anderlecht?
Anderlecht is facing a crucial week, with the return match against Hammarby at the Lotto Park. The club is focusing on this match and Vazquez did not play a minute in the first leg. Vazquez is on the verge of leaving definitively, which presents a logical exit for the club.
