Football-scaled

Belgian club, Beerschot broke their transfer record when they splashed € 1.5 million to sign Blessing Eleke from Lucerne of Switzerland, according to various reports.

Beerschot chairman, Francis Vrancken said he believes the striker’s market value will rise even more when he shines with his club. Beerschot were reorgan- ised in 2013.

Eleke, 24, has signed a three-year-contract with the club.

The tall striker was at a time linked with Belgian giants, Anderlecht, and has previously played in Slove- nia and Israel.

The Antwerp club is back in the Belgian top-flight league after several years in the lower division.

The division two cham- pions got their campaign off to a great start last weekend when they won 2-1 at KV Oostende.
