Noah Mbamba turned down a late approach from Anderlecht in favor of a move to Dender before the transfer window shut.
The 20-year-old talented midfielder rejected Anderlecht’s proposal, which would have split his time between the first team and the Futures, opting instead for a club where he could secure more consistent minutes in the top division.
Noah Mbamba first broke through at Club Brugge before making a move to German champions Bayer Leverkusen in January 2023.
However, his time in Germany saw limited opportunities, leading to a loan spell at Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2. Bundesliga last summer—a stint that ultimately failed to bring the desired breakthrough.
Born in Belgium with Congolese roots, Noah Mbamba has represented Belgium at the youth level and remains a highly regarded talent. His decision to join Dender signals a fresh start, offering him a better platform to showcase his abilities and reignite his development.
