Belgium instead of Italy: Bayern gives Joshua Zirkzee again - Zirkzee München

In a not necessarily satisfactory season preparation of FC Bayern, he still provided an exclamation point - albeit involuntarily. Now Joshua Zirkzee München temporarily leaves and changes to the Belgian top club RSC Anderlecht on a lending.

The Dutchman, who is to collect game practice, had been awarded to Parma in the past season, but had not prevented the descent of the traditional association - even because of persistent injury issues. Now Hellas Verona should have been interested, Zirkzee decided for Anderlecht. The lending amounts to a playing time.

"After a phone call with Vincent kompany (trainer since August 2020, note d. Red.) I immediately felt a certain connection. The club brings me a lot of trust and I think that the game philosophy of Anderlecht is very good for me" said the Dutch U-21 international in a message of his new club.

Schweitzer's sport director Peter Verbeke was pleased to give the squad with the obligation of Zirkzee "additional quality". He described Zirkzee as "young center tower with huge potential that can hold the ball and has a good passball."

Four years ago, Bayern had committed Zirkzee from the offspring of Feyenoord Rotterdam. So far, he comes to 17 missions (four goals, a template) for the first team.
