Wrote by: EP's reporter in Turkey Ali AVCI

Walter Baseggio, one of Belgium's top midfielders, is unhappy that Ahmed Hassan has taken his number 10 shirt as soon as he arrived at Anderlecht. This to many is a confirmation of Baseggio's exit from the club.

Baseggio wants his number 10 back!

Baseggio's agent Luca Pellizzon told DH that his client feels threatened by the fact that the Egypt captain has been given the number 10 jersey, saying: "I spoke about this with Herman Van Holsbeeck (Anderlecht manager). He explained to us that it was only for Hassan's presentation."

However, he added: "I'm sorry but this has had very bad effects on Walter (Baseggio).

"He said that if he returns to Anderlecht, he will recover his number 10 shirt. He is a youth player of the club."

To add to this, Hassan's new manager wants the Belgian international to show his worth. "Van Holsbeeck said that if Walter returns to Anderlecht, he has to prove that he is better than the new transfers of the club."


Pellizzon continued that Baseggio feels that the club did not consider him in their decision, commenting that "he deserves more respect."
