The scorer of 24 goals have been linked with a move to several English Premier League team with West Ham going a step forward by agreeing a fee of around 7 million pounds for his transfer.
However reports from Belgium suggest the 19 year old will before the end of this week put pen to paper on a deal with Anderlecht for a fee in the region of €8m for 70% of his transfer right.
