Newcastle goalkeeper Matz Sels loaned to Anderlecht

Newcastle goalkeeper Matz Sels has completed a season-long loan move to Belgian champions Anderlecht.

Sels, who joined Newcastle in a £5 million switch from Gent last summer, could play Champions League football once again next season, having done so with his former club before his arrival at St James' Park.

A club statement said: "Newcastle United goalkeeper Matz Sels has completed a season-long loan move to Anderlecht.

"The 25-year-old has returned to his homeland to link up with Rene Weiler's side -- who won their 34th Belgian First Division A and will remain at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium until the end of the 2017/18 campaign.
