Nayel Mehssatou prepares to leave Standard Liege for Kortrijk

Summary

Chilean midfielder Nayel Mehssatou is expected to leave Standard Liege and return to Kortrijk after one season. He originally joined Standard on a free transfer following Kortrijk's relegation from the Pro League but appears set to re-join now that Kortrijk is back in the top flight. During his time at Standard, Mehssatou played 31 games, primarily as a substitute. His versatility, allowing him to play both midfield and full-back, will be an asset for Kortrijk as they aim to solidify their status in the league. Mehssatou's return coincides with other summer signings, including Chelsea's Harrison Murray-Campbell.
