Former Anderlecht star Walter Bassegio has thrown his weight of support behind Majeed Ashimeru.

The talented midfielder has been splendid form since returning from a long-term.

Ashimeru played his first game since July 2021 against KAS Eupen in the Belgian League last week and followed it up with another brilliant display in a 2-1 win over Waregem on Saturday.

Bassegio believes the Ghanaian star should be played more and is exactly the type of creative player the club needs to dominate games.

The former Belgium international made the case for the inclusion of Majeed Ashimeru in the starting line up instead of Kristoffer Olsson who he argues is too defensive minded.

“Olsson is a player who defends more and Anderlecht have had enough of that,” he told La Dernière Heure.

“There is a lack of a real number ten at Anderlecht, which means there is too much space between the lines,”
