As per Joost Blaauwhof via vi.nl, 20-year-old Jordan Zirkzee, the young brother of Joshua Zirkzee, is currently on trial at Anderlecht.

Anderlecht see him as a young and talented player with a lot of potential.

Jordan Zirkzee is still working at NAC Breda at the moment.

The attacker trained frequently with the first team and played for the reserves the previous season.

Coach Carl Hoefkens allowed him to return to the second team after he had participated in the season’s training.

A move to Anderlecht could be great for Jordan Zirkzee due to his young age, as he will be bound to get consistent gametime.

As for his older brother, Joshua Zirkzee, he will be aiming to have a big season next year and push for the starting striker role.

Rasmus Hojlund has been linked with a move away after two disappointing seasons with the Red Devils.

Chido Obi only made his debut last year and is still young, giving Zirkzee a chance to cement his place in the number nine role.
