West Ham target Charles De Ketelaere could break a record and become the most expensive outgoing transfer in Belgian football history according to one reporter.
West Ham were linked with the Belgian forward earlier in the week via Calciomercato. A transfer for De Ketelaere could apparently warrant a Belgian record transfer fee of £22m, per Belgian journalist Mo Messoudi (via West Ham Zone).
“For me, De Ketelaere is the most valuable player in Belgium at the moment. I am sure he will break the outgoing transfer record set by Jeremy Doku,” he said.
“Club Brugge used him smartly last season, and he did not burn out. They allowed him to rest at the right time and put him on the bench. Now, De Ketelaere is reaping the benefits.”
Indeed, the forward is beginning to show what he is made of. He has already surpassed his highest league goals tally this season, just 11 games in.
