We like Julien de Sart at Sport Witness, mostly because when he signed for Middlesbrough, he was very candid about everything that went on at the club.
Returning from his rather tepid spell there at the end of last month, de Sart looks unlikely to be a Middlesbrough player next year either, as Voetbalkrant in Belgium reporting a move to Zulte Waregem is on the verge of being completed.
The website state the 22-year-old passed his medical with the Jupiler Pro League side on Thursday, with an announcement expected this morning, although that has yet to happen.
The deal is said to be a loan with an option to buy, suggesting Garry Monk hasn’t included de Sart in his plans for beyond next season if they are giving Zulte a chance to sign the player permanently.
Having lost Soualiho Meïté after the defensive midfielder signed for Monaco for just under £7m, the Belgian side had a gap to plug in their squad.
It seems Julien de Sart will be the man to fill that void.
