Anderlecht, who have been tracking Mukairu, 20, for several months, announced the transfer.
Last season, Mukairu, a winger or striker, scored five goals in 27 appearances in his first season in Europe with Antalyaspor.
He came through the Antalyaspor U19s before he signed a five-year professional contract in June 2019.
He is fast and armed with a great technique that allows him to ghost past his markers.
Mukairu is widely seen as a direct replacement for 18-year-old Jeremy Doku, who has joined French Ligue 1 side Rennes on a record transfer fee of 27 million Euros.
