Market12 Jun 2028

Anderlecht come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and OH Leuven did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Théo Defourny breaks a bone — 31 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 31 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

OH Leuven agree $1.4M for Nordin Jackers

The clubs have shaken hands with Club Brugge; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market12 Jun 2028

Wouter George hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what OH Leuven can pretend not to have heard.

Supporters turn on the $4.7M sale of Henok Teklab

He is going to Anderlecht, the club has $4.7M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market12 Jun 2028

Henok Teklab moves on

Anderlecht pay $4.7M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

Thibaud Verlinden frozen out at OH Leuven

This is not rotation. Thibaud Verlinden has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at OH Leuven is pretending otherwise.

Market12 Jun 2028

Eyes on Dante Rigo again

The phone has started ringing about Dante Rigo again, and this time the name on the line is Anderlecht. OH Leuven are listening politely and promising nothing.

Kjell Peersman due for a OH Leuven medical

Everything agreed with KAA Gent, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Pierre-Louis Christopher damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Graduation day at OH Leuven

6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Andrés Ferrari

OH Leuven asked and Sint-Truiden said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

One of our own: Simon Chadli joins the OH Leuven first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Simon Chadli is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market26 Jul 2027

One of our own: Dedryck Castagne joins the OH Leuven first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Dedryck Castagne is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market26 Jul 2027

Kevin Januzaj steps up from the OH Leuven academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kevin Januzaj has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market26 Jul 2027

OH Leuven promote Leander Doku from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Leander Doku has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Kyan Vaesen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Sami Bouhoudane in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at OH Leuven this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
