Van Damme: 4m Euro Mbokani is Antwerp’s Biggest Problem

Jelle Van Damme believes hotshot Dieumerci Mbokani is this moment Antwerp’s biggest headache.

The in-demand goal-getter has been banging in goals, notching thirteen so far and is credited for the Royals ascension to second place this campaign.

And erstwhile teammate Jelle Van Damme says the former Monaco and Norwich City man is the Reds Mr. Reliable with his absence likely to have them in hot soup.

“Mbokani is the problem of Antwerp. If he is not there or he is not scoring, then they have a problem. He is so important to them,” Jelle, now at Sporting Lokeren said.

Dubbed DRC’s god of goals, the 34-year-old is at the height of his powers and looks on the brink of scooping the league’s best player prize a second time after his first in the 2012/13 season in which he also finished the man with the most goals, sealing him a switch abroad.

An offer from one of the premier league sides in Uzbekistan had come for him but the forward is resolute on completing reminder of the term and would prefer the bucks from China’s cash-loaded Super Lig considered retirement home for well-to-do players who’d spent time in Europe.
