Anderlecht is in the process of finalizing the transfer of Ilias Koutsoupias, a Greek midfielder. He was previously compared to Claudio Marchisio, a well-known Italian player, during his time in Italy.

On Transfer Deadline Day, as the transfer market closes at 23:59 today, several ongoing transfers are in motion, including that of Koutsoupias.

Koutsoupias was reportedly spotted in the stands at Lotto Park, indicating that the deal may be nearing completion.

In a separate development, Antwerp is also looking for a midfielder on loan, but details regarding their transactions have not been disclosed.
