Anderlecht’s £4.5 million gamble on Finse winger Antman

RSC Anderlecht is set to complete a £4.5 million (approximately €5.25 million) transfer for 24‑year‑old Finnish international Oliver Antman, who will join the club at Lotto Park once his medical examinations are finished. The deal, agreed with Rangers, marks the Belgian side's first major signing of the summer window.

RSC Anderlecht and Rangers have agreed a fee of £4.5 million, roughly €5.25 million, for the transfer. Oliver Antman is expected in Brussels to complete paperwork after passing his medical examinations. The move will see him join the club at Lotto Park.

The Belgian side pursued Antman for his strong international résumé. The 24‑year‑old Finse winger has earned 31 caps for Finland and scored eight goals. His experience makes him a valuable addition to Anderlecht’s flank options.

At Rangers, Antman featured in 28 matches, netting once and providing five assists. His contract with the Scottish club runs until June 2029. Transfermarkt values him at €4 million.

Anderlecht’s €5 million gamble on Oliver Antman after Rangers stint

Antman's career has taken him from FC Nordsjælland to FC Groningen, then to Go Ahead Eagles before his summer move to Rangers. These steps have given him experience in different leagues. His versatility on the wing has been noted throughout his progression.

RSC Anderlecht experienced a wave of departures this summer, including Nathan De Cat, Jan‑Carlo Simic, Keisuke Goto, Luis Vázquez and Thorgan Hazard, while Yari Verschaeren and Mats Rits also left after contract expiries. The club remained relatively quiet on the incoming side until now. The Antman signing will be the fourth summer addition.

Recent arrivals such as Léo Pétrot, Lukas Ambros and Giulian Biancone have already expanded the squad's options. These signings indicate Anderlecht’s intent to rebuild after the exodus. Antman's arrival further signals a shift from a silent to an active recruitment phase.
