Five Belgium World Cup Stars Set For Big Summer Moves, Including Chelsea Star & Man Utd Target

Posted by

2) Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal)

Former Ajax star Thomas Vermaelen tends to play out of position at left back for his national side – but at Arsenal he is no longer able to get into the team at all.

This has led to Vermaelen being heavily linked with a move to Premier League rivals Manchester United, who are looking to strengthen their defence to coincide with the arrival of new manager Louis van Gaal from the Dutch national team.

3) Toby Alderweireld (Atletico Madrid)

Centre back Toby Alderweireld, who plays at right back for Marc Wilmots’ team, looks set to leave La Liga champions Atletico Madrid this summer after a frustrating season in which he struggled to nail down a place in Diego Simeone’s impressive defence at the Vicente Calderon.

Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with a move for the former Ajax defender as Mauricio Pochettino looks to rebuild his squad at White Hart Lane.

4) Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United)

Marouane Fellaini may have been the Belgian hero when he came off the bench to bag the equalising goal against Algeria, but the former Everton man still doesn’t appear to have a future at Old Trafford.

According to newspaper reports this summer, one of new manager Louis van Gaal’s first acts as Manchester United manager may be to sell Fellaini, who has struggled to adapt to life at the club since joining in a rushed deadline day move from Goodison Park last year.

5) Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

Despite a fine goalscoring season on loan at Everton last season, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho still does not appear to be convinced by young striker Romelu Lukaku and may choose to cash in on the former Anderlecht man this summer. A number of clubs have been linked with the 21 year-old, including La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, but wherever he may end up it seems unlikely that Chelsea fans will see Lukaku pull on their blue shirt again.

It is a curious move from Chelsea, considering Lukaku’s status as one of Europe’s finest young strikers, but fans aren’t likely to care too much if Mourinho can tie up a deal for Spanish international Diego Costa.
