RSC Anderlecht nears €4M deal for Tawfik Bentayeb

In Belgian football, RSC Anderlecht is nearing a deal to sign Moroccan attacker Tawfik Bentayeb from Union Touarga. Reports indicate an agreement of approximately €4 million plus bonuses, with the player currently awaiting a work permit. This move comes as sporting director Antoine Sibierski seeks offensive reinforcements following Anderlecht's recent 1-0 defeat to SK Beveren.

During that match, Anderlecht coach Vitor Bruno addressed the use of new regulations after goalkeeper Colin Coosemans was injured. Bruno noted the team utilized the rule allowing a player to leave the pitch for a set duration to manage the numerical disadvantage effectively.

In the Coupe de Belgique, RWDM secured a dominant victory against Aubel in their fourth-round match. This performance marks a significant moment for the club following the return of Thierry Dailly as majority shareholder and president.
