Last season, Samuel Edozie was mainly utilised as a substitute at Southampton, who were then in the Championship.
The Saints, after returning to the Premier League, let the winger join Anderlecht on loan in September.
This move has worked out for the Southampton owned player as he’s scored four goals and registered six assists from 32 games. Two different injuries forced him to spend over 50 days on the sidelines this season.
Gazet van Antwerpen looks at pressing questions for Anderlecht, after losing the Belgian Cup final to Club Brugge on Sunday. This is when they look at players they signed on loan, including the 22-year-old.
Edozie played the full 90 minutes in the final and assisted Luis Vázquez’s late goal. The newspaper states the Southampton owned player was the best performer for Anderlecht against Club Brugge.
Despite the winger’s good performances this season, the Jupiler Pro League club can’t retain him as they haven’t secured a purchase option with the Saints.
Therefore, the Englishman will return to Southampton, who have been relegated to the second division. They will have to appoint a new permanent manager who can make a decision on Edozie.
