The source for this link is someone close to the player's club.
Tbh whenever a deal is close to happening, it usually gets leaked through the press and it'll be not long before most reliable papers/sources start reporting it. In Belgium when it comes to football transfers people don't seem to hold the essence of discretion in a high regard. So far nothing of that sort has happened regarding Engels, but if it does it won't be long before the more reliable English newspapers start picking it up as well.
Mostly reported first in foreign newspapers though. Belgian journalism is of the worst kind on this planet.
Nah, once Sporza or De Morgen report it, it's usually on point.
If you're referring to HLN and Het Nieuwsblad these papers are nothing compared to The Sun, Daily Star or Daily Mail when it comes to sensationalism and lack of credibility.
There isn't even a genuine tabloid newspaper in Belgium whereas England, Germany, Spain, etc have several.
Sporza reported Pogba being done 2 weeks ago. De morgen is pretty decent yeah but their sports section isn't that big. Hahah yeah HLN is a rich man's "tv familie" of "story" imo

so no "experienced" CB coming in? if it's the choice between Engels and someone more proven like Mustafi, i'd go for Mustafi
How is Mustafi proven?

Arsenal target Bjorn Engels, 22, has opened the door to a summer move to the Premier League from Club Brugge, after the North London club failed to sign the centre-back last summer. (Express)

jules_w wrote:Exactly , he's just a moderate CB imo. Some call-ups and sub apps for the national team doesn't make him proven. Never even mind apps for Sampdoria and Valencia ffs LOL. He was awful for germany at the euros. Experienced and decent is what you can call him at best. I never said Engels is a better player btw
