The possibility of Michy Batshuayi playing for Anderlecht from January seems unlikely, contrary to earlier reports. While there was speculation that Arsenal was close to acquiring the Standard de Liège striker for £8 million and then loaning him to Anderlecht, Standard de Liège president Roland Duchâtelet has denied such a departure. According to Duchâtelet, Batshuayi will not be joining Anderlecht and will stay at Standard after the New Year. The player has a contract with Liège that includes a departure clause, but it will only be active in June and not in January.
