Frank Acheampong is rapidly endearing himself to the Anderlecht supporters. Following an impressive U20 World Cup, the Ghanaian left-back wasted no time in making a mark in the Jupiler Pro League, requiring only three matches to capture the admiration of the Brussels club’s fans. Despite not finding the net last weekend, the 19-year-old Ghanaian international played a crucial role, providing a splendid assist in the team’s 5-2 victory against Charleroi.
Acheampong’s performances continue to generate buzz as he consistently showcases his speed on the left flank for Sporting Anderlecht. In an interview with the Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, the left-back expressed gratitude to his coach for the trust placed in him, particularly on a tactical level. He explained his decision-making during a key play, stating, “I thought it was better to continue my run. I saw the space, and the coach told me that in the opponent’s half, I can take risks, even if there are still five opponents to pass…”
“I was a little surprised, to be honest. But I felt very proud. I’m happy to bring joy to the fans. I saw a lot of smiles in the stands. After a few weeks here, I sense that I am appreciated at the club. This boosts my confidence for the future. I believe I haven’t shown my best yet, and I’m determined to do everything to elevate Anderlecht to the top of the rankings.”
