Anderlecht have had such a huge change of mind over the past week or so that they’re now on the verge of being able to announce Matz Sels as a signing.
However, the Belgian club were said to have walked away from the possible signing after Sels himself didn’t show enough interest in the deal. That may have all been a big misunderstanding, because, as Het Belang van Limburg report, Sels has already passed a medical to join Anderlecht.
On June 18th Het Nieuwsblad reported that Anderlecht were set to give the Newcastle transfer a second chance, and they’ve been working quickly on it since.
An agreement with Newcastle isn’t completed yet, with Anderlecht’s Herman van 
Holsbeeck quoted as saying: “Negotiations with Newcastle are more difficult than I expected.”
Still, the player has been through his medical checks, and all being well, and with Newcastle’s agreement, he could even start training with Anderlecht tomorrow as the start of a one year loan.
