Royal Antwerp striker Didier Lamkel Ze reported for training in an Anderlecht jersey in a bid to get a move away from the club.

The 24-year-old is wanted by Greek side Panathinaikos, a move the Cameroon international wants to happen.

Lamkel Ze thought a good way of forcing the move through would be to turn up to training wearing the jersey of Antwerp's rivals.

However, security staff at the club's training ground refused to let the striker in when he tried to open the doors.

Royal Antwerp beat Tottenham 1-0 in Belgium in the group stage of this Europa League but Spurs were 2-0 winners when the two met in North London later in the group.

Antwerp finished runners up behind Jose Mourinho's side and will face Rangers in the last 32 of the competition in February.

Only time will tell if this stunt pays off but right now it looks highly unlikely that Steven Gerrard's side will be facing Lamkel Ze, who has scored 11 goals in 69 games for Antwerp since he joined in 2018.
