Anderlecht football chief Jesper Fredberg is delighted with their swoop for Chelsea winger Tudor Mendel-Idowu.

The teen chose Anderlecht over Barcelona this week after coming off contract at Chelsea this summer.

A beaming Fredberg said: "Signing bright young prospects like Tudor is perfectly in line with our strategy.

"We want to have the biggest talents playing at Anderlecht. Tudor is a good fit as he's not only a modern and talented winger, he is also hungry and he has clearly enjoyed a good education.

"At Anderlecht, we can provide him with the perfect pathway to take the next step."
