After being sent off during the Belgian top-flight match between RAAL La Louviere and K.V. Mechelen over the weekend, Ghanaian international Majeed Ashimeru has acknowledged his disappointment.

Ashimeru, who had substitute appearances against Union SG and Anderlecht, had a tough afternoon after being sent off just 16 minutes into his third club game.

His chance to make an impression right away was cut short when he was dismissed after a VAR review of his challenge.

“The red card disappointed me. “It was inadvertent, but I had to make amends for the fans,” he posted on Instagram.

Ashimeru joined RAAL La Louviere on loan from Belgian Pro League side RSC Anderlecht in the second half of the season, a move that runs until the end of the season. The club confirmed his arrival as their fourth signing of the winter transfer window, expressing confidence that his experience and quality would strengthen the squad for the remainder of the campaign.

The early sending-off is a setback for both player and club as RAAL La Louviere continue their push for a strong second half of the season.

Ghana midfielder Majeed Ashimeru is edging closer to an exit from Belgian giants RSC Anderlecht, with newly promoted La Louvière emerging as the frontrunners to secure his signature.

The 28-year-old has endured a frustrating period in Brussels, struggling to secure consistent first-team opportunities and slipping down the pecking order under head coach Besnik Hasi. As Anderlecht embark on a squad overhaul, the Ghana international has been informed that he no longer features in the club’s long-term plans.

Ashimeru was considered surplus to requirements even before the start of the season and has spent much of the campaign maintaining match fitness with Anderlecht’s U23 side in Belgium’s second-tier league. Despite his absence from senior football, he has still managed to find the net at youth level, a reminder of his quality and readiness for a fresh challenge.

With the transfer window in full swing, Anderlecht are keen to resolve Ashimeru’s future quickly as they look to streamline their squad. La Louvière, eager to bolster their midfield, are understood to be confident of completing a deal that would offer the Ghanaian a chance to revive his career through regular top-flight action.

EXCLUSIVE: Majeed Ashimeru Set for Anderlecht Exit as La Louvière Close In

Should the move materialise, Ashimeru is expected to play a key role in La Louvière’s fight for survival. The newly promoted side currently sit 14th, inside the relegation zone, and view the midfielder’s experience and composure as vital to their Belgian Pro League campaign.

A product of WAFA SC in Ghana, Ashimeru joined Anderlecht in the summer of 2021 and remains under contract until 2027. However, with his role at the club now significantly diminished, an exit appears imminent—one that could provide the experienced midfielder with a timely opportunity to rediscover form, consistency, and momentum in Belgian football.
