Injury crisis means unwanted Chelsea defender now on Belgian giants’ list

Die Nieuwsblad in Belgium are reporting that local giants Anderlecht are interested in Chelsea defender Malang Sarr.

You’d be forgiven for having forgotten that Sarri is even at Chelsea – he’s been basically erased from the club’s social media presence as they look to find him a new home. This is just the latest transfer link to the Frenchman, but nothing ever seems to come of them – presumably because he’s on such big money that he can’t be persuaded to go elsewhere.

After signing on a free transfer there were high hopes that Sarr would fetch a tidy profit when sold. Now it looks more like he will eventually walk away when his contract expires, after years of collecting easy money from a silly club who gave him a silly big contract.

Anderlecht have a serious injury crisis at the back, which is apparently making them consider a loan for Sarr. Whether Chelsea would sanction a temporary move is another question, although what seems most likely is just that they want rid of him by whatever means necessary.
