Belgium giants Anderlecht are set to make another loan move for Dutch born Ghanaian defender Derrick Luckassen.

The former Belgium champions had initially wanted to make a permanent move for the defender after his impressive loan spell.

However, the Purple and Whites are unable to meet the 3 million Euros asking price of parent club PSV Eindhoven.

This has forced the club to push for another loan deal but this time Anderlecht will pay the defender's salary in full rather than the half they were paying lat season.

Meanwhile, PSV are set to extend the defender's contract to 2023 despite sending him on loan.

Luckassen played a key role for Anderlecht before the season was cancelled due to coronavirus, making 18 appearances and scoring a goal for the club.
