Anderlecht have said new signing Joshua Zirkzee, who has Nigerian and Dutch nationalities, from Bayern Munich will be a quality addition.
Striker Zirkzee, 20, has signed a season-long loan deal with no option to buy.
He is a direct replacement for Lukas Nmecha, who top scored for the Brussels club last season on loan from Manchester City.
Anderlecht sports director Peter Verbeke said he is pleased to get a player with “enormous potentials”.
“Joshua is a young striker with enormous potential,” he said.
“This is in line with our philosophy to guide him further in his development and at the same time achieve results.
“Joshua can hold up the ball, he is good in combination play and has good individual action.
“In this way we are once again adding extra quality to our squad.”
Zirkzee said he got off well with coach Vincent Kompany from the first phone call.
“After a phone call with Vincent Kompany there was an immediate click,” he revealed.
“I got a lot of confidence from the club and the playing style and the project appeal to me very much.
“I am ready to contribute to the team and help the club achieve their targets.”
