Anderlecht faces criticism over €5 million signing of Czech midfielder Lukas Ambros
RSC Anderlecht signed 22‑year‑old Czech midfielder Lukas Ambros from Górnik Zabrze for a reported €5 million. Former Anderlecht striker Marcin Zewlakow, now a Polish television analyst, said the fee was surprising and far above the player's market value, which he estimated at about half that amount. Zewlakow described Ambros as a "universal soldier" – versatile and disciplined – but not a game‑changing talent, noting his last season produced two goals and five assists. He warned Anderlecht supporters to keep expectations realistic, characterising Ambros as a reliable number‑eight rather than a star. The transfer has sparked debate among Belgian fans and Polish commentators about whether the price reflects the player's abilities.
