Nigerian Chelsea alum joins Belgian giants Anderlecht

Posted : 28 July 2023
Belgian Pro League powerhouse, Anderlecht, has officially announced the exciting acquisition of Tudor Mendel-Idowu, a talented winger of Nigerian descent and former Chelsea player, through their official website. 

This move comes as a significant coup for the 34-time Belgian champions, as the young footballer was highly sought after by numerous European clubs, including the likes of Barcelona.

Despite being offered a new contract by Chelsea, Mendel-Idowu decided to embark on a new chapter in his burgeoning career, and Anderlecht's sporting project captivated him, leading to the bold move to Brussels. 

The English youth team player, with strong Nigerian roots, has put pen to paper on a lucrative three-year contract with Anderlecht, and the deal also includes an enticing option for an additional season, demonstrating the club's confidence in his potential.

Mendel-Idowu's football journey began at a tender age when he joined the prestigious Chelsea academy at just eight years old. 

His undeniable talent and dedication enabled him to progress through the ranks, ultimately earning a scholarship deal with the Blues in the summer of 2021. 

During his time at Chelsea, the left-footed attacking sensation showcased his goal-scoring prowess, netting an impressive 11 goals in 29 appearances in the U18 Premier League. 

He also represented Chelsea in the UEFA Youth League, FA Youth Cup, and Papa Johns Trophy, gaining valuable experience on various competitive stages.

Delighted with his new venture, Mendel-Idowu expressed his excitement, saying, "It’s really thrilling to be here. I was captivated by the sporting project that both Jesper and Mikkel presented. I’m eagerly looking forward to making my mark at this beautiful club and contributing to their ongoing success." With his unveiling ceremony held on a Thursday, Tudor Mendel-Idowu proudly donned the number 77 jersey, symbolizing the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his promising football journey at Anderlecht.
