In Belgium, the possibility of Cheikhou Kouyaté departing this winter remains open. The Anderlecht defender from Senegal has consistently expressed his desire to explore other opportunities. Despite interest from Dinamo Moscow, who reportedly offered €8 million to Sporting Anderlecht for the Senegalese international, Kouyaté rejected the offer. He seems uninterested in continuing his career in Russia and is likely to complete the season with Anderlecht.
Kouyaté has openly expressed his desire to leave the Jupiler Pro League, with a strong preference for the Premier League. Despite reported interest from Arsenal, no club has yet met the requested transfer amount. Talks have been initiated between the parties involved to discuss the potential transfer during this winter window.
