Burnley Flop Hannes Delcroix Linked with Lille Move
Burnley Defender Delcroix Linked to lille Amidst Struggles in England
Burnley, England – Belgian defender Hannes Delcroix, who joined Burnley in a high-profile move from RSC Anderlecht last summer, could be on the move again as early as January.The 25-year-old center-back has yet to make an appearance for the Clarets this season due to an adductor injury sustained in April.
Delcroix’s struggles in England come after Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, a former Premier League star himself, looked to the Belgian Jupiler Pro League for reinforcements. While some signings have flourished, Delcroix’s time at Turf Moor has been hampered by injury and a lack of playing time.
Despite the setback, Delcroix still holds a significant market value, estimated at around $4 million. This has reportedly caught the eye of French Ligue 1 side Lille OSC, who are seeking defensive reinforcements in the upcoming January transfer window.
While Delcroix is not Lille’s top priority, sources indicate he is on their list of potential targets.
Delcroix’s move to Burnley last August was seen as a step up after a period of inconsistent performances in the Belgian Pro League. The transfer, which netted Anderlecht $3 million, was met with high expectations, but Delcroix has yet to make his mark in the Championship.
With Delcroix’s contract running until 2026, Burnley faces a decision: loan him out for the remainder of the season or seek a permanent transfer in January.
