One of the difficulties of next season will be the choice of the first keeper. Jacky Munaron is working with Zitka en Peersman daily. "At the moment everything is going allright", says the keepercoach. "If they don't talk a lot with each other that means they're working with great determination. Both goalkeepers are sharp." But the choice between both keepers may cause problems for Hugo Broos. "At the moment there's not the slightest problem, the friendly matches give us the possibility to let them both play. but during the competition that's something different of course..."

"But a season is also long. Everybody is talking about our two goalkeepers, but the same thing is happening in the attack. We also have to consider the fact that an injury can always occur. The coming games are important, those matches will decide who is going to start in the line-up", says Munaron.

La Dernière Heure

Portsmouth have set their hart on Aruna Dindane. "We have indeed been contacted by Portsmouth but their proposal was really ridiculous. First of all we would like to keep Aruna and the rest of our players here in the Astridpark. But if we get a financial attractive proposal, of course we will think about it", says the secretary-general Philippe Collin.

The player himself isn't immediately saying no to Portsmouth. "I've always said that I'm interested to play in a higher league where I could make progress." Although Aruna isn't really in a haste to leave, he still feels very good with Sporting", explains his manager Serge Trimpont. "It's far too soon to say that Aruna will play in the Premier League next season. We still have to wait and see if Portsmouth are able to fulfil the financial wishes of RSC Anderlecht."
