A second Dendoncker goes to work in England. After Leander, Lars now also has a transfer. He signs with Brighton & Hove Albion.
After eleven years, 19-year-old Lars Dendoncker leaves Club Brugge and he will start working for the U23 of Brighton, England. The third Dendoncker brother Andres, the broker of his brothers, speaks to Het Nieuwsblad about the transfer.
The step to England was not easy. Usually, young people first gain experience in Belgium. “True, but the reactions in Belgium were rather lukewarm. Except for a few clubs, who called him interesting. However, there was interest from the Netherlands, Scotland, France, Italy and England. ”
“And England, that remains a unique opportunity. Lars also wanted the greatest possible challenge for himself. There will be people who say that it is better to break through in Belgium first, but that was simply not the case. Wolverhampton was charmed, but Brighton became really concrete, and Lars immediately had a very good feeling about that club. Hence the choice. ”
