The media information that Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Justin Lonwijk is close to going on loan to Belgian Anderlecht turned out to be somewhat exaggerated.

The 23-year-old Dutchman is indeed in the sphere of interest of this club, but his signing is considered as an alternative option.

Anderlecht were initially targeting Rodrigo Salazar from German side Schalke, but the latter opted for Portuguese side Braga. It seemed that after this Brussels will switch their attention to Lonwijk, but in fact, according to VoetbalNieuws, Anderlecht are now looking to get Algerian Himad Abdelli from French side Angers.

Recall, Lonwijk does not want to return to Ukraine because of the war. At the moment Dynamo and the player's agents are looking for options for the midfielder to rent for the upcoming season. Apart from Anderlecht, Danish Copenhagen and Viborg are interested in the Dynamo player.
