However, he's now agreed a deal with boss Andy Hessenthaler to join Dover and goes into the squad for their National League clash with Eastleigh at Crabble on Tuesday night.

The former Belgium under-19 international certainly impressed during his short time with Dover and is a gifted midfielder, who can pick a pass with ease.

He spent six months with Walsall in League 1 but played only three minutes for them - coming on as a substitute against Scunthorpe in January 2019,

When he joined Walsall, their manager at the time was Dean Keates. He said then: "He has really impressed us. He has been involved with the Under-18s for Belgium and is an attacking midfielder player but a bit different to what we have in the group at the moment.

“His technical ability is exceptional. He has got great feet, can pick a pass and strikes a great ball."

Dover, who were knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties by Yeovil on Saturday , are 22nd in the National League with three points from their first five league games.
