WAGNH is reporting on a potential Transfer for young Anderlecht defender. Not sure how true is this.

Cheikhou? More like 'Cheik who?'

I've never heard of him. Can the army of Belgian posters we have on here tell us more about him?

ooo I remember this guy. He's not too dissimilar to Yaya Toure when played in midfield. I haven't watched him at all when playing in defence.

He's been converted to a CB because his technical game was absolute shite not to mention his shots that were closer to the cornerflags than goalposts.

He's doing well at Anderlecht but the Belgian league is absolute bollocks, he's still shaky and still makes many mistakes but he might be a worldclass player in the future, I reckon that would take atleast 5 years. So no, not Chelsea material at all he needs to take many steps before he can even consider competing for a spot at that level.

Have to agree with Gily..

Still needs a lot to learn, but huge potentional. Leave him at Anderlecht for a while and keep an eye..

Watched him in the Olympics for Senegal,he played in midfield i think and looked a decent player,but no thanks.
